Rob Clarke trained to be a mechanical engineer, a career that brought him to Oregon. Despite an interest in wine - and an “aha” bottle from Evesham Wood - being in the wine industry was never a consideration.

Among a new treasure trove of Oregon wine artifacts that just came into our collection.

Tom Mortimer, proprietor and founder of Le Cadeau Vineyard, first planted roots in Oregon in 1997, and set out to make the best wine possible on some of the rockiest land in the Willamette Valley. He wasn’t shy about asking established growers for best practices, but also decided to put his own spin on his plantings - for example, using the metric system to measure distance between rows because “the vines were French.”

You know those conversations you have that turn your life in a whole new direction? Katy Armes had two of them during her college years at Oklahoma State, eventually leading her to Oregon wine country.

You’ve heard stories from many of these people through our oral history interviews - now take the opportunity to meet them and try their wines!

Joe Chepolis and Carmen Nydegger from @soundandvisionwine joined us yesterday for a great conversation.
