<p class="MsoNormal">Bruno Corneaux is the proprietor at <a href= "domainedivio.com" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Domaine Divio</a> in the heart of the Ribbon Ridge AVA in the Willamette Valley of Oregon. </p> <p class="MsoNormal"><img style= "display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" src= "https://assets.libsyn.com/secure/show/45638/domaine-divio-winemaker-proprietor-bruno-corneaux.jpeg" alt="" width="400" height="300" /></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;"><span style= "font-size: 8pt;"><em>Bruno Corneaux of Domaine Divio.

His wines are among the best I have tasted from Willamette, with a combination of elegance, fruit, and earthy, spicy notes in both the Chardonnay and Pinot Noir. The wines are distinctly Oregon in character, but with a nod to the acidity and structure of the wines of Burgundy.</p> <p class="MsoNormal"> </p> <p class="MsoNormal">We discuss his history, his philosophy, Oregon, and his lovely wines. A great show, pretty dorky, with some good controversial topics (you may know my feelings on Oregon...) Domaine Divio is not distributed in the US, so you can get the wines at <a href="domainedivio.com" target="_blank" rel= "noopener">domainedivio.com</a> and you won’t regret it!</p> <p> </p> <p style="text-align: center;"><img style= "display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" src= "https://assets.libsyn.com/secure/show/45638/IMG_3259.jpeg" alt="" width="403" height="302" /><em><span style="font-size: 8pt;">Photo: The sign of Domaine Divio outside the tasting room.
