Winery Description: Approachment Wine Co. is a boutique winery based in McMinnville, Oregon, in the heart of the Willamette Valley. Founded by husband-and-wife team Jessica and Paden West, both seasoned industry professionals, the winery is a reflection of their combined talents and passion for winemaking. Jessica began her wine journey working in wine shops and tasting rooms before interning at Bethel Heights Vineyard in 2013, where she worked closely with winemaker Ben Casteel and viticulturist Mimi Casteel. She later earned a degree in winemaking from the Northwest Wine Studies program. Paden, a Willamette Valley native, also started in wine shops and tasting rooms, eventually interning at Penner-Ash in 2010 under the guidance of winemaker Lynn Penner-Ash and assistant winemaker Brian Irvine. The couple met as lab partners in the Northwest Wine Studies program, and their shared passion led to the creation of Approachment Wine Co. The winery specializes in small-batch, handcrafted wines that are both energetic and expressive, sourcing grapes from select vineyards in the region. Their offerings include a skin-contact Pinot Gris, a carbonic-style Gamay from the Van Duzer AVA, and a Syrah from the Les Collines Vineyard near the Blue Mountains, all of which have received acclaim for their quality and distinctive character. Approachment Wine Co. embodies the duo's creative and experimental approach to winemaking, inviting enthusiasts to join them on their adventurous journey.
