It was the 33rd state of the U.S. and is one of the most geographically diverse states in the country. It has volcanoes, water bodies, dense forests, shrublands, and deserts. The capital city of Oregon is Salem, but its largest city is Portland.
Oregon is also the 5th largest wine producing state in the US known the world round for its Burgundian Pinot Noirs and Gris. Don’t just focus on those grapes as Oregon does a dam (beaver dam) fine job with Chardonnay, Cab and Syrah as well. Check some of them out as we toast the beavers on their day!
