About this listen

It’s spooky season, and we’re heading to Oregon’s Willamette Valley for a ghost story with a sparkling twist. Argyle Winery isn’t just known for its Bubbles... it’s also home to one of the region’s most famous hauntings.

0:00 Intro

1:00 Argyle Winery

1:54 Winery History

2:38 Nuthouse Pinot Noir Tasting

4:22 The Ghost Story

6:07 Argyle Sparkling Wine Tasting

In this episode, we'll talk about the spooky story of Lena Immis, the spirit said to roam Argyle’s historic “Spirit House,” and explore how this modern Oregon winery connects its history, architecture, and eerie legends to the wines it makes today.

Along the way, we taste Argyle’s 2018 Vintage Brut and Nuthouse Pinot Noir, talk about why sparkling wine deserves a bigger spotlight in Willamette Valley, and dig into how American wine regions can get pigeonholed into one grape, but don’t have to stay there.

It’s part ghost story, part wine education, and all about discovering how American wineries keep rewriting their own histories, sometimes with a few spirits still hanging around.

Pour a glass, press play, and lnd watch out for the ghosts! Cheers!
