We are RAM Cellars, an urban winery based in Portland, OR crafting low intervention wines with love! Cheers, from our table to yours! Viv, Aidan, and Bex

We're RAM Cellars, and we're a micro winery based in Portland, Oregon. We hand craft small lots of premium wines in Portland, to share with you and yours. We believe in minimal inputs and in allowing the grapes to showcase their varietal characteristics and tell the tale of the season in which they are grown. We source our fruit premier vineyards in Washington and Oregon, bringing the fruit back to Southeast Portland to make the magic happen! It is our absolute pleasure and honor to share our wines with you!

SEATTLE FRIENDS AND SUPPORTERS! 🪄🥂
Join us for an incredible collaborative food and wine pop-up at in Seattle’s Capitol Hill featuring five RAM Cellars wines, thanks to , alongside tacos by .gringos on Monday, May 11th, from 4 - 7 pm!

AND - in a move that makes my big, dorky heart so, so happy, we’ve dubbed this gathering “The Cloak & Stagger Tavern” and gone all in on a D&D theme for our event name and menu format! Unlike a traditional wine dinner, this gathering requires no advance reservations!

Tacos Gringos will have à la carte format street-style tacos for $3.50 each, with green chorizo, Goat, Lengua (tongue), and Peas and Carrots as taco options, and a delicious watermelon salad with jicama, mint, chili powder, and lime available as well!

As for wines, we’ve curated a special lineup of perfect pairs with tacos, including RAM Cellars Grüner Veltliner, Dry Riesling, Orange Fraîche, Cabernet Franc, and Sparkle Pony Red. Each of these wines will be available by the glass and bottle!

And while it’s not required to be a big ole dork like me, of course, I’d love to chat with you about your favorite DnD character class, favorite TRRPG, or favorite dinosaur, for that matter. When I am not moonlighting as a wine sorceress, I tend to lean towards bard or paladin class characters, centering social skills and healing as my preferred character archetypes!

I love connecting authentically with folks over food and wine, and this collaboration with my friends at Radio City Wine and Tacos Gringos made possible by the wonderful folks at Carrello, is a dream come true for me.✨

I can’t wait to share wine, tacos, laughs, and good times with you on Monday, May 11th, from 4-7 pm at our Cloak & Stagger Tavern pop-up at Carrello Seattle, located at 622 Broadway E on Seattle’s Capitol Hill.

Cheers,
🧙‍♀️ Viv

As we turn the corner into May - and Oregon Wine Month - we always take the time to reflect on the handful of our wines that we produce with Oregon-grown wine grapes.

While many of our wines over the years have been vinified from Oregon grapes, two of our core wines over the years have always been crafted with Oregon grapes:
🍷Our Pinot Noir - which we have crafted with fruit sourced from three different Willamette Valley sites and one site on the Oregon side of the Columbia Gorge.
🥂 Our Grüner Veltliner - made with grapes from a cooler climate site nested along the Willamette River.

Both wines have been beautiful reflections of each varietals’ expression in cooler climate Oregon sites. Over the years, we have crafted versions of our Tempranillo, Riesling, Gewurztraminer, and Pinot Gris-based wines with Oregon fruit as well.

✨ As for our current offerings of Pinot Noir and Grüner Veltliner: each is a delightful time capsule and love letter to the 2024 vintage!

Our 2024 Grüner Veltliner is a light, easy- drinking, moderate ABV “Porch Pounder” white. Softer and lemon-lime citrus forward, it’s one of our favorite spring/summer white wines that we make.

And our 2024 Pinot Noir, crafted with 100% Pommard clone, Chehalem Mountains fruit from our friends at Bells Up Estate Vineyard, is a richer, riper take on our classic lighter-bodied Pinot Noir style that has ample structure and savory notes balanced with cherry cola, blueberry, and raspberry fruit notes in the glass!

It doesn’t just stop at where we harvest our grapes! RAM Cellars has always been a Portland urban winery, crafting wine in different corners of Portland. No matter where the grapes are grown, all of RAM Cellars’ wines are part of the Oregon wine story.

– Cheers to Oregon wine!, Viv
