ANDREW TURNER, PROPRIETOR

After his wanderlust wore off, Andrew finally made it back home to the West Coast, settling in Oregon’s Willamette Valley. For ten years, Andrew managed the Ponzi Wine Bar in Dundee, which was part tasting room, wine bar and retailer of the very best of the Willamette Valley. From selling well-known brands to producers making less than 200 cases per year, Andrew developed close relationships with nearly every wine producer in Oregon. When that business changed into a Ponzi Vineyards tasting room, Andrew saw the opportunity to finally fulfill his dream of owning his own shop. Valley Wine Merchants was launched in the Spring of 2014, showcasing over 400 dynamic wines from around the world, each hand-chosen & tasted so that the selection can be curated for each and every client.
