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.)

Heather Perkin came to Oregon after studying winemaking at Adelaide University in her native Australia. After working harvests at Elk Cove in 2004 and 2005, she joined the team full-time in 2006. As the winery has expanded, so has Heather’s role - she’s currently doing double-duty as associate winemaker at Elk Cove and head winemaker at its sister brand, Pike Road.
