Longplay Wine

Some friends and I spent an afternoon wine tasting and this was our first stop. We were greeted by the owner who then picked out a record for us to listen to while we tasted. We got to try 6 wines for 10 $ but the tasting fee could be applied towards the purchase of a bottle. The wines were all delicious and the owner was very knowledgable. I would highly recommend stopping here for wine tasting if you are in the newberg area!

Great music and some great wine. Some of the wines are still a bit young, but overall we liked the wines. We bought two bottles.
We were only available on a Tuesday, but Todd was more than happy to meet us and pour us some wine. He even opened a few that weren’t on the list. He also gave us some food recommendation for lunch afterwards. Its worth it to give Longplay a try.

Great wines and the bonus of great music at Longplay during First Friday tonight. Todd was pouring some lovely Pinots as always, the 07 was soft and elegant, and the 2012s are showing really well, promising to only improve with age. The Chardonnay was excellent! Always a nice experience.

I just had to give Longplay 5 stars — not so much for the wine — but for Todd and his unpretentiousness. Todd would be my go-​to guy if I was trying to learn about wine, had hillbilly cousins in town, wanted to get a lesson on clones or soil type or if I just wanted to have a fun, unpretentious tasting experience… In short, no matter what your mood, stop and say hello to Todd. And, as for the wines, the chardonnay and his top-​of-​the line pinot were stand-outs…the others were on-​par with everything else in their price range and the $ 5 tasting fee was a really good bargain. I’ve paid as much as $ 20 for a flight of 4 pinots in the same quality range.

So, I’m a member at Cliff Creek Cellars, which is right across the street from Longplay. So, though many people walk right on by Longplay… they are missing out! They have some of the best Pinots I’ve tasted. Right now he has a 2007, which was his first one, on sale for a steal. Todd is a low key kind of guy, and I appreciate that he keeps stats on his Pinots in a book. Very helpful. All of his Pinot Noir’s come from Lia’s Vineyard, which I found out that Seven of Hearts also buys their grapes for that varietal from Todd! I’m a member of Seven of Hearts! So, I was very impressed with learning that tidbit of information. This place is totally worth stopping into. No frills or things, just straightforward good honest Pinot Noir. His Reserves I liked the best.

Stopped at Longplay on our way to the Coast, and was very pleasantly surprised. Not only is the Pinot Noir there great tasting and a great value — the guy that operates the tasting room (Todd) also grows the grapes and makes the wine — and play requests on vinyl. I learned more about winemaking, and particularly grape production, in 20 minutes there than in all other tasting rooms I have ever been in combined — fascinating.
After we left and went to Argyle (not nearly as good…) — I noticed that I’d left my jacket back at Longpplay, but before we had a chance to finish our tasting and get back there — Todd had personally delivered it to us. Really hard to beat great wine, great value, and great service.
After we got back home and had our 1^st bottle of Longplay — realized that we should have bought more wine there — excellent!

Cute little tasting room in downtown Newberg. The branding is excellent, and more than just a clever idea, there is a record player in the tasting room.
I they pour three wines, I think they only make three wines. I appreciate that they are a small operation, but I like a little more variety.
I live in Newberg and have been here a half dozen times, I have picked up a few bottles. The wine is priced right and tasty.

Todd is a friendly, engaging, charmingly eccentric guy and the wines are a great price for great wine. We only got one bottle, since we stopped by at the beginning of our trip, but I ended up regretting not buying more. As we stopped for a snack in my car, Todd raced out unasked to hand us a few tasting passes for nearby wineries. Love it.

Well worth a stop. Not only is Todd a really engaging host, the wine is killer and very well priced. We left with two bottles of pinot and a chardonnay. Maybe our favorite stop on a day of wine tasting in the valley.

My husband and I found ourselves walking around Newberg, OR and discovered this delightful little wine tasting place. Longplay wine! We were fortunate to meet the owner and hear his tremendous story, sweet little pinot and great place to visit.
