Delicacy and Luminosity.
Inner light. Fragility. Sun and earth, bound together in wine.
Porcelina is a Chardonnay-only œuvre de cœur devoted to some of Oregon's finest Chardonnay vineyards. It is the passion project of Patrice and Samantha Breton, guided by winemaker Seth Morgen Long.

Patrice and Samantha Breton are amateurs of White Burgundy. To please themselves first, they have chosen Oregon as the setting for this work of the heart. This is the place to plumb the depths of Chardonnay, and to craft feminine, graceful, precise wines.

All vineyards are farmed with intention and sustainability, and allowed to speak with clarity. Our role is to preserve their voices—keeping a filigreed texture, vibrant acidity, and an unforced sense of terroir that radiates Oregon sunlight back out from the glass.
The majesty of the Earth, and the unknowable architecture underlying it, is everything to us. How the elements align to greet our senses as pleasure is a fascinating, perpetual mystery. The eye motif in our artwork is a reminder that we are beholders of Beauty—parties to this veiled interplay.
Our work must contain an element of precision and fanaticism. Winemaker Seth Morgen Long's boundless passion for Chardonnay matches ours. We have each seen the heights that this grape can achieve, and humbly hope we can contribute to the dialectic.
The blue and white of porcelain. White caps of the Pacific, echoed in the press pan. The pull of the moon. The mystique of the Feminine. The whipcrack of a flint strike.
The wheat-field, faded-red-barn, fir-green geometry of Oregon summer. We want each glass to evoke multitudes and stir emotion in the beholder.
Sky, Earth, Human, Vine
Our Vineyards
As a winery fascinated with Oregon Chardonnay, we source from organic and sustainably farmed sites tended by meticulous, dedicated families rooted in fine wine. Cool, rocky vineyards are the theme, giving us the grip and citric tension in the glass we cannot live without.

Precise & Categorical.
Winemaker Seth Morgen Long makes these wines using traditional Burgundian methods.
Grapes are picked ripe but not overripe, the musts are allowed to brown or blacken before judicious sulfuring, then they're fermented in stainless steel for 10-20 days. Then it's on to French oak for at least two winters with little to no lees stirring. We view oak merely as a frame, to set fruit and mineral flavors in bold relief in the glass.
Lovers of Art, Music, and Wine, manifesting a Dream.
Patrice and Samantha Breton are partners in life, in spirit, and in business. Together they preside over Vice Versa wines in Napa Valley. Porcelina is a natural result of their passion for the wines of Burgundy and love of a challenge.
Patrice Breton
An Ottawa native, immersed in great art and music from a young age, and a passionate wine lover for decades, Patrice founded Vice Versa Wines in 2003. While acclaimed for Cabernet Sauvignon,
“Chardonnay has always been my North Star,”
he says, and Porcelina represents his desire to make the kinds of wines that he and Samantha love to drink.

Samantha Breton
Originally a Doctor of Pharmacy from the south shore of Montreal, Samantha's passion for wine sprang to life in 2011, over a shared bottle of 1982 Château Lafleur with Patrice. By 2019, she had become so integral to their shared passion and business that she ended her pharmacy practice to focus full-time on Vice Versa.
Seth Morgen Long
A former sommelier turned Oregon Chardonnay devotee, Seth honed his craft across continents—from Domaine de Montille in Meursault to New Zealand—before becoming the Willamette Valley's first winemaker singularly focused on the varietal, with a 100-point score to show for it. With a meticulous, site-driven vision, he crafts balanced wines of remarkable clarity.
Luminous, unmistakably of place.
Diaphanous & reductive.
Our Wines
“These vineyards speak with clarity. Our role is to preserve that voice—fine textures, vibrant acidity, and an unforced sense of terroir.”
Willamette Valley
Coiled, vibrant and firm, this wine shows high acidity, pure aromatics and flavors of lemon curd, mint, and key lime, yellow spices, barrel toast, wet minerals, and struck flint. 70% Royer, 15% Durant and 15% Blue Heron.
Eola-Amity Hills
Tensile, dense and powerful, Royer presents as firm and regal with bright acidity, unfurling aromatics and flavors of gunflint, barrel smoke, golden spices, flourishes of lemon oil, lime curd, graham and ginger.
South Salem Hills
Lithe, full, and layered, with subtle richness and high acidity, aromatics and flavors of bright stone fruit, key lime cream, and lemon oil intermingling with savory notes of wet minerals, yellow spices, and mixed florals.
Durant Vineyards
Chiseled and long, Durant pulses with energetic aromatics and flavors of grapefruit curd, lime leaf, oyster shell minerality, white spices, and lemon verbena.
