We are excited to invite you to The Kitchen for a fun and informative demonstration cooking class featuring Oregon wines paired with seasonal food! Learn how we pair ROCO wines with the freshest ingredients available.
Rollin Soles
Founder & Winemaker
The story starts in Texas, takes side trips through Switzerland, Australia and California, and ends up in Oregon’s Willamette Valley. Educated as a microbiologist, Rollin Soles’ winemaking combines the friendly grit of a Texas-born work ethic with the uncompromising rationality of a true scientist. In a wine world cluttered with nostalgic ideas, Rollin wants to know what’s really going on—in the vineyard, in the cellar, and in the glass. It’s the hallmark of a winemaking career that began overseas and has since landed Oregon bottles at the highest ranks of American craft.
As Oregon’s original producer of sparkling wine, Rollin insists on a pioneering, innovative spirit in the ROCO cellar—always seeking new insight and trying new ideas to keep our wines among the very best this valley produces.
More About ROCO
When Rollin Soles and Corby Stonebraker-Soles came to Oregon in the 1980s, they arrived at the leading edge of a movement. The idea of Oregon wine was actively in the making, emerging in real time through the daring efforts of people like Rollin and Corby and a diverse group of entrepreneurs who wanted nothing more than to produce world-class wines in an unproven but promising winegrowing region. They built wineries, developed foundational industry organizations, and worked to establish Oregon as the premier place to make Pinot Noir and Chardonnay outside of Europe.
Now more than 35 years later, ROCO showcases Oregon winemaking at its peak—through a talent that has produced hundreds of 90+ scores from leading industry critics, repeated placement in Wine Spectator’s Top 100 Wines of the World, and multiple bottlings served in the White House. In 2024, ROCO’s 2013 RMS Brut 10-Year DD was named #1 wine of the year on ‘The Enthusiast 100’ list by Wine Enthusiast, a first-of-its-kind honor for any Oregon winery.
Transcendent wines are the expectation at ROCO Winery. Through innovation and experience, we carefully build a vision for each wine’s highest potential and work tirelessly to make that vision a reality.
