At Leaning Star we love to create. Leaning Star is family owned and operated by Howard and Starlena Simon.  We offer unique wines, as well as seasonal honeys and jellies.  All of our products are made by hand in small batches.  This allows for the element of craftiness in each batch.  Each bottle and each jar are filled by hand, as are the labels put in place by hand.  The fruit is Oregon fruit.  The honey is Oregon honey, much of it from our own hives.  We enjoy using art from local artists for all of our labels.  Products from Leaning Star aren't just delicious, but they sing of the pride we take in being a part of Oregon.
 
Read over our list and find something that intrigues you.  Take time to enjoy your wine and come back often.  There is always something new and fun to try.  Please note 750ml is the size of the standard wine bottle.  375ml is half that size.  The 375ml size makes it easy to try a menagerie of our wines.  Either size makes a nice gift.

The Corbett/Troutdale Area

There is a little area in Oregon in the Columbia River Gorge.  It is just east of the Sandy River and is known as the Corbett/Troutdale area.  It is a land like no other.  It is rough, but beautiful.  Every winter the East Winds howl down the gorge.  Every winter the locals question their sanity for staying in the area.  Then next year spring and summer come back and beauty abounds and it makes it all worth while.  The people in the area are the same.  They are rough and tough enough to stick around.  They have all found their niche and are happy, while others have chosen to move on.  During the winter months local folk create.  They are painters and potters, jewelry makers and herbalists.  The list goes on.  Their work is all exquisite.
