James Rahn ! We had the pleasure of interviewing James Rahn at Abbey Road Farm today. We learned about his journey throughout the wine industry beginning as a sommelier and now as a winemaker. It was interesting learning about the diverse varietals he is working with and we are excited to see what the future will bring him. Be sure to check out his interview this week! • We’re always scheduling interviews for the Oregon Wine History Archive—if you or someone you know would like to be interviewed as part of our oral history project, please feel free to message us!
APPRECIATION POST! 🍇 We are so thankful for how far the wine archives have come. Each interview that we conduct leaves a lasting impression on us— whether it be an interesting fact that we learn, a nostalgic memory, or simply one’s character. We value it all. • So excited for our upcoming projects and of course, more interviews! Stay tuned!
Jim Fischer and Jenny Mosbacher ! We drove out to Gervais to meet up with Jim and Jenny of Fossil & Fawn. From their stories of how they met to how they got interested in wine to their adventures with deer in the vineyard, they had us entertained with all of their anecdotes. They also discussed the ups and downs of starting their label and how they’ve grown along the way. Their interview will be up soon, so check it out! • We’re always scheduling interviews for the Oregon Wine History Archive—if you or someone you know would like to be interviewed as part of our oral history project, please feel free to message us!
SWIPE FOR MEMORIES OF 2019! 100 interviews in 2019 calls for both reflection and celebration. Looking back on this past year, we are honored, proud, and amazed at the amount of support the Oregon Wine Industry has given to us. • Your cooperation in contributing to this ever-growing archive is what keeps us moving forward. Your stories matter. This history matters. • While we are a small team, there is A LOT of work that goes into these interviews— scheduling/communicating, research, filming, photographing, post-production, filing, archiving— it is one of the most rewarding jobs to be able to capture your stories. • With the holiday season upon us, the Oregon Wine History Archive would like to take the time to say thank you. We couldn’t have done it without you. Cheers to good health, wine, and many more interviews! 🍾🍷🎉
Vincent Fritzsche ! We spent some time with the winemaker behind Vincent Wine Company, Vincent Fritzsche. A native Californian, Vincent told us about how he got interested in wine and how he gravitated towards the sense of place that is present in Oregon wines. Fun fact: our director, Rich Schmidt’s favorite varietal to drink is Gamay Noir and it was one of Vincent’s wines that sealed the deal! Check out Vincent’s story when you have the chance! • We’re always scheduling interviews for the Oregon Wine History Archive—if you or someone you know would like to be interviewed as part of our oral history project, please feel free to message us!
We had a great time interviewing Brian and Laura at Hazelfern cellars today. It was great hearing about the benefits and challenges that come with owning a small family winery. They reminded us that life is short so they are using wine to bring people together and make themselves and others happy. Check out their interview coming soon!
