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.⁠

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.

Join us in raising a glass from @lytlebarnett or @aubainewine in Andy’s honor! 🥂
