Today we had the opportunity to see the peak of @stollerwine while interviewing vineyard manager Chris Lake @lake.grapes
This year marks the 50th anniversary of Oregon Senate Bill 100, which localized land use planning to the county level. The Oregon wine industry, which was just getting started, saw the value of the legislation and the need to protect potential vineyard land.
There are only so many things you can cover in an oral history interview. For those of you who want to learn more about the realities of farming grapes, we present “Rodent Tales” starring John Thomas, as filmed by his wife Amy. This highlights the truly glamorous Oregon wine lifestyle.
Roberta Manell Montero had an interesting upbringing - the child of diplomats, she spent time living in Mexico, Chile and Venezuela and attended Georgetown with the intention of following her parents’ footsteps.
Lots of people in Oregon wine have John Thomas stories - and now we do too. (He helped push our car out of a ditch yesterday.)
Viva spring!
