I am going to guess that you might possibly maybe be new to Bend. I think everybody there refers to it as central Oregon. You have to drive 100 or 200 miles to the right in order to reach eastern Oregon.

Talk to the woman who runs the Good Drop Wine Shoppe in downtown Bend. She has a tasting every Friday - usually some good stuff (she was tasting champagne including Krug last Friday).
Thanks everyone! I am new to Bend, as I moved from Telluride to here so I am all turned around. I stopped by RHC and Good Drop Wine Shoppe and had very positive experiences.
I was in Bend last spring and stopped at Good Drop and was very surpised at the wines she had. Well curated for such a small shop, lots of old world wines that were of interest. I had brought my own wines with me, but if I hadn’t, there were things I would have tried. Not sure how competitive they are, but nothing shocked me at first glance. Either they sell mostly to tourists, or there are some serious winos in Bend in addition to the beer scene.
