Tim Malone visited us at Nicholson Library to sit an interview with us. With a background in music, Tim ultimately found that wine appealed to him, especially the world-class wines being made in Oregon. He regaled us with stories of starting in the industry and how the camaraderie found in the valley is unparalleled. He also told us about how he started his label, Timothy Malone Wines, and the obstacles that he faced as he slowly grew his brand over the years. We are excited to see where he goes in the future and we are also excited to share his story with you!

We had the absolute pleasure of interviewing Jessica Mozeico, owner and winemaker at Et Fille winery. Her story is incredibly inspiring with her perseverance through unimaginable situations, commitment to give back to those in her life, and her philosophy for life and winemaking.
In the interview she gives great examples of the collaboration and kindness between industry members that she has experienced first-hand, showing what makes the Oregon wine industry so unique and special.
It was a privilege to hear her story, we are excited to see what the future holds for her.
You definitely are going to want to hear Jessica’s interview!

Today we visited James Frey at Trisaetum Winery in Newberg. Coming from a background in business, exercise physiology and photography, James found that his passion in life rested with wine and painting. That passion is reflected in his tasting room/gallery where we conducted our interview. Among other things that he shared with us, James believes he was very fortunate to have found his property in the Ribbon Ridge AVA when he did. He sees a number of great things in wine in Oregon’s future, and we foresee great things for him and Trisaetum. Check out his interview, up soon!
