Kate Norris is one half the team behind Division Winemaking Company. She and her partner, Thomas Moore, make approachable and balanced wines with minimal intervention using fruit from terroir expressive, organic and/or biodynamic vineyards across Oregon. Kate also works closely with several organizations leading the way in Oregon winemaking, including the Oregon Wine Board and the Willamette Valley Wineries Association. Her approach to winemaking is open minded and straightforward: “drink good things with good people”. With this spirit in mind, Kate developed her personal project, Gamine Wines, dedicated to the wines she shared with her mother growing up in France.
Aligoté is often overshadowed by the more famous Burgundian varietal, Chardonnay, but is just as worthy of attention. Kate’s Gamine Aligoté is bright and energetic with flavors of yellow apple, underripe peach and orchard blossoms, finishing with a zippy acidity. We think this wine pairs beautifully with baked brie served with an assortment of apples, pears, and roasted hazelnuts. It would also make a great brunch pairing alongside savory Belgian waffles.
