Inside Corollary Wines' Stunning New Tasting Room
In 2022, Jeanne Feldkamp and Dan Diephouse purchased 57 acres of land in the Eola-Amity Hills AVA, a region known for its pinot noir and chardonnay. Feldkamp and Diephouse use both varietals for their label, Corollary, which began producing wine in 2017. But the winery is not known for its varietals; it’s known for its hyper-specific focus: sparkling wine. Earlier this year, the two finally opened Corollary’s sleek Amity tasting room, which exclusively serves bruts and bubbles made with Pacific Northwestern grapes.

Portland police union’s ballot initiative to shift focus of new oversight board fails to qualify
A Portland police union-backed ballot petition that would have significantly scaled back the powers of a new oversight board failed to qualify for the November ballot. The petition, which was filed in February, sought to change what’s now called the Community Police Oversight Board, saying it must focus on police recruitment, training and retention programs and determine how those programs should be improved. It also aimed to change the board’s disciplinary function, making it so that recommendations would go to the police chief, who would have had the final say in whether and how to discipline officers.
