Bridgeview Vineyard and Winery is one of the largest wineries in Oregon.^[1] Located in Cave Junction, Oregon, Bridgeview is noted for its chardonnay, pinot gris, and pinot noir. Its 85-acre (340,000 m²) estate in the Illinois Valley is planted in the European style of dense six-foot row and four-foot vine spacing. Bridgeview also has an 80-acre (320,000 m²) vineyard in the Applegate Valley.^[2]

History

Bridgeview produces mid-market wines in the varietals of Chardonnay, Gewürztraminer, Muscat, Pinot Gris, Pinot Noir, and Riesling. Bridgeview is most famous for its line of "Blue Moon" Riesling, Chardonnay, and Pinot Noir. Other lines include Black Beauty Merlot and a Premium line that includes Reserve Pinot Gris and Reserve Pinot Noir.

Bob and Lelo Kerivan have remained as the head of what is still very much a family business. Staying true to what has made them successful and a never-ending passion for something they enjoy turns the chores of winemaking into more than a profession, but for them a way of living. Lelo has been quoted as saying; "If I saw this as work, I wouldn't do it!" ^[3]

Bridgeview introduced blue bottles for their "Blue Moon" Riesling and "Blue Moon" Chardonnay, and by using colored, recyclable synthetic corks in some of their bottles.

Blue Moon Riesling

Brideview’s Blue Moon Riesling comes in a cobalt blue bottle, that according to Frank J. Prial of The New York Times is an instant attention grabber. The cork is made from the same material used in artificial heart valves, has a brand name of Supremecorq, and is also cobalt blue.^[4] Wine Enthusiast Magazine noted the "edgieness" of the bottle while recommending Bridgeview's 2002 Blue Moon Riesling, giving it a score of 87.
