In Good Taste Wine Director: Fred Armstrong

Fred Armstrong first developed a taste for wines in 1987 while touring France and Italy and drinking the local wines. In the early 1990’s, being a native Oregonian, he developed a love for local Pinot Noirs. This love for Pinots grew into a passion to learn more about wine and wine growing regions.

After fifteen years in the telecommunication industry, Fred decided to take his career where his heart is, wine. In addition to occasionally lending a hand at some local wineries, Fred worked for a local wine distributor and teaches wine classes. Fred is now the Director of Wine at In Good Taste. He recently passed the two day International Sommelier Guild exam and is a certified Sommelier.
