Owen Roe & Sineann
Owen Roe and Sineann are sister wineries
producing intense wines from great vineyards in
the Pacific Northwest.
Owen Roe is a partnership between Jerry Owen
who closely monitors the vineyards and David
O'Reilly who makes and sells the wine. Grapes
are sourced from excellent vineyards in the
Willamette, Mid-Columbia, Yakima Valley, and
Walla Walla Valleys of Washington state. Careful
monitoring of the vineyards and strict production
limits result in intense flavors.

without significant outside help other than harvest season. They grow their own

his eight-year-old working the corking line as part of the bottling process.
If you have a chance to enjoy wines from Sineann, Owen Roe or O'Reilly's, don't miss
it.
