What is Your Wine Personality?

February 17, 2025

By April Zawada

Could it be that we are what we drink?  Some believe that our choice of wine is directly linked to our personality traits.  Find out if your human characteristics reflect one (or some) of these wine varietals below!

  • Bold and Confident – A rich, full-bodied Malbec or Napa Cabernet Sauvignon with high tannins and a commanding presence.  You are strong, brave, fearless in your convictions and decisive in your actions.
  • Elegant and Graceful – A light-bodied, refined Willamette Valley Pinot Noir with delicate floral and red fruit notes, earthiness and a silky texture.  Composed and sophisticated, you are someone who doesn’t demand attention but leaves a lasting impression.  You are contemplative and expressive without being overpowering and appreciate a refined lifestyle.
  • Mysterious and Brooding – A deep, dark Northern Rhône or Rocks District Syrah with smoky, meaty, and peppery undertones that take time to open up. Like Syrah, you are not well understood but are incredibly intriguing once someone gets to know you. Quiet and introspective, you value tradition and reject fads.
  • Lively and Playful– A zesty, high-acid Albariño or Rose that dance on the palate. You’re adventurous, flirty, personable and demand attention.
  • Structured and Stylish – An Oregon Chardonnay with a cool climate finesse and a mineral driven finish.  Made with captivating precision, it is rooted in tradition but with a fresh, modern perspective with quiet confidence. You are exquisite yet grounded and reveal many layers.
  • Sharp and Spicy– A high-toned, fruit driven Oregon Cabernet Franc with zesty spice.  This wine is upfront with little subtlety. You are direct and to the point, a no-nonsense type of person that seeks solutions to everyday issues.
  • Soft and Laid Back – A medium-bodied easy drinking and supple Merlot. Reflective and laid-back, you usually get along with everybody and need little in the way of fanfare to fit in.
  • Sultry and Sophisticated- A refined, traditional-method Extra-Brut Sparkling Wine from France or Oregon. You are always dazzling and live for the finer things in life.  Like luxurious bubbles, you are alluring and deserve nothing but the best.
  • Tart and Exotic – A New Zealand Sauvignon Blanc that has tart tropical fruit and sharp green-grass notes with bracing acidity.  With no pretension, you are unique and upfront with a quick wit and a brash, yet interesting personality.

As for me, I most definitely match my wine preference! The “Elegant and Graceful” Pinot noir from the Willamette Valley.  It’s not a secret that Oregon Pinot noir has always been my passion, and it is what launched our brand in every aspect.  Knowing that my personality reflects my passion is absolutely gratifying and makes me smile! 💜🍇
