de la boue

Travis Todd (winemaker) and Chris Andrew are the two-person team behind a winery called "de la boue" out of Willamette Valley Oregon ( ~1,300 cases) all single-vineyard wines. They farm Vista Grande, a 5-acre organic vineyard in the Chehalem Mountains and buy fruit from top organic/biodynamic vineyards like Temperance Hill, Gregory Ranch etc. Travis previously ran the wine program at The Yellowstone Club in Montana before moving to Oregon to become a winemaker. "Nostalgie de la boue" (deh luh BOO) is a french phrase with a loose translation that means a longing for simpler times. Directly translating to "from the mud,” de la boue is a reminder that it all comes from the ground beneath our feet. Past vintages are sold out and their 2022 vintage will be released for Allocation Program Members in spring of 2024. The 2023 vintage will show growth to ~2500 cases.
