🍾 Wine Enthusiast’s Wine Star American Winery of the Year Nominee 2026
🥂 #methodoregon

POSTS STORIES REELS TAGGED

What an honor. Lytle-Barnett is a finalist for American Winery of the Year for Wine Enthusiast’s 2026 Wine Star Awards. 🏆⁠
⁠
This nomination recognizes the culmination of years of quiet, collective effort. It acknowledges a steadfast belief in the Willamette Valley’s rightful place on the world stage of sparkling wine. It confirms 14 vintages of commitment to craft made one season at a time by founder Andy Lytle and Director of Winemaking Andrew Davis, who helped establish the @methodoregon standard. It is a nod to our entire team who hold these tenets as their own and carry this mission forward. And it serves as a note of gratitude to our members and customers who’ve sustained our work since the beginning.⁠
⁠
Thank you, @wineenthusiast, for including us. Head to their site to see this year’s full list of distinguished finalists — link in bio.⁠

This is the one people keep asking about. 🥂⁠
⁠
Our 2018 Brut Rosé — a 70-30 Pinot Noir and Chardonnay blend born in the Eola-Amity Hills — has a way of making every occasion feel like a celebration. Delicate. Complex. Completely unforgettable.⁠

The New York Times has named @hawyardrestaurant to their 2026 Restaurant List as one of their 50 favorite places in America right now. Nobody who has eaten there is surprised.⁠
⁠
Chef Kari Shaughnessy and her team have built something genuinely special in Carlton, and we're lucky to call them friends. We'll vouch for their wine list, too (hint, hint). ⁠
⁠
Better still, they are catering our Fall Release party on September 26. Which means our new release wines will have excellent company. (make your reso at the link in bio).⁠

Congratulations, Team Hayward! Well deserved and then some. taken in Hayward Restaurant by @lytlebarnett

First pick at our Windfall Vineyard caught the Willamette Valley at her best. Early light, cool temps, and pick-ready Pinot Meunier. Vintage 2026: pure PNW vibes, and already cooking!⁠

IT'S ON!! Harvest 2026 started early this morning at Bieze Vineyard in the Eola-Amity Hills AVA with our first pick for @methodoregon sparkling wine. Cool temps, spot-on brix numbers, and a very happy Andy Lytle combined for a picture perfect kick-off to the season we prepare for all year long.⁠

🍾 National Pinot Noir Day, and our best argument for the variety has no red in it at all.⁠
⁠
Blanc de Noirs: white from black grapes. Our 2019 is 100% Pinot Noir from Anahata Vineyard, pressed gently enough to leave the color behind, then three years on the lees. Pale straw, exquisitely fine bead, and still unmistakably Pinot... almond croissant, black plum, baked pear tart.⁠

92 points, Wine Enthusiast. Link in bio goes straight to the bottle. 🔗 by @lytlebarnett

Bubbles and brunch on couches in a vineyard? Sign me up!

Couch + Cork Society from @lytlebarnett and @aubainewine has to be one of my all time favorite wine experiences and the most memorable event of the three day @methodoregon Grand Tasting Weekend.

I don’t think I’ve been to a more laid back event where I got to truly chill with the winemakers and chat while relaxing.

Where else can you relax on couches after 2 days of amazing wine events, have one to one conversations with the winemakers and the people who know the wines best, all while sitting in the middle of a beautiful vineyard?

Thank you @lytlebarnett for hosting us, this was truly one of the coolest events. Windfall Vineyard had beautiful views of the surrounding valley. by @lytlebarnett

Cheers to National White Wine Day 🥂⁠
⁠
Blanc de Blancs. White from white. The French weren't being coy — it means white wine made from white grapes, full stop. In our case, 100% estate-grown Chardonnay from the Willamette Valley's Eola-Amity Hills AVA.⁠
⁠
Crisp, elegant, and quietly qualified for this holiday since the day we put it on the label.⁠

🍾 What a weekend.⁠
⁠
Method Oregon Sparkling Weekend brought together Sparkling School, the Bubbles Block Party, the Grand Tasting featuring 50+ producers and 80+ wines, and our sold out Cork and Couch Society event — and it did not disappoint.⁠
⁠
This is THE Oregon bubbles weekend of the year, and it only comes once. If you were there, you know. If you missed it... we'll see you next year. 🎟️⁠
⁠
Follow @methodoregon to sooth your FOMO and so you never miss what's next — we keep the bubbles flowing all year long! 🥂 by @lytlebarnett
