Thanks to a trio of new arrivals at Arlyn Vineyard in Newberg, the Willamette Valley is now the world’s cutest wine region. Say hello to the Valais Blacknose sheep, a vineyard employee that can’t help but make you smile.
The Valais Blacknose sheep are a breed native to the mountains of southern Switzerland. The breed, which looks like sheep as imagined by Wallace & Gromit, is marked by a jet-black face, ears, knees, boots, and in the ewe’s case, posteriors. Both rams and ewes develop spiral horns.
