It's Official!

We're excited to announce that we've finally received our winery permit, and are cleared to ship direct!* To celebrate - we're offering 20% off bottle and case sales of our 2014 vintages for this week only! For those that pre-ordered our wine, we're packing a little preview of our 2015 that's still in barrel - we hope you enjoy!

A portion of the proceeds will go to members of the not-for-profit Farmer Veteran Coalition. Like the FVC; we believe that veterans possess the unique skills and character needed to strengthen rural communities and create sustainable food systems. We believe that agriculture offers purpose, opportunity, and physical and psychological benefits.

If you are a Veteran, and are interested in grassroots viticulture - please contact us and tell us your story.

We're excited at the opportunities ahead, and look forward to producing quality wine for generations to come. Thank you for the early support!

Summer Update!

August 13, 2018 1 Comment

It's been awhile since we've put out an update, things have been busy! We hope everyone is beating the heat right now! Although oppressive, this warm weather is treating the grapes just right. The vines over at Jesse Estate Vineyards recently showed the first signs of veraison - which is when the clusters turn color and the vine pumps them full of sugar. Veraison is the last major step before harvest, based on averages harvest comes 30-45 days after veraison hits. That said, it looks like the 2018 harvest will come in at the end of September! We're looking forward to working with more great fruit from Jesse Estate!

Crush

With that, we're happy to share that we are crushing this year at Laurel Ridge winery. We are fortunate that they had space open up at the last second for us to move in to. Interested in participating in a crush? We may need help processing fruit, so if you'd like to get your hands dirty then let us know! Reply back to this email with your contact info and we'll stay in touch!

However - we are not pouring out of their tasting room, instead we are working with Urban Decanter in Forest Grove to pour our wines on Sunday and by appointment. The details have to be finalized with the OLCC, but we should be cleared hot come October.

Spring Update & Moving Sale!

June 21, 2018

You read that right - we are oscar-mike! As many of you know, we have been looking for a new home since ADEA is up for sale. Fortunately, we have found a cellar for the wine, but we're now scouting for our own tasting room. There are options in the pipe - but they're all build to suit, so it may be a few months before its complete.

This means we will be pouring at ADEA for the remaining Saturdays in June, but will be on the move in July. No problem though, we think best on our feet!

So for the summer months we have booked 2 or 3 markets per week - you will find us at any given Hillsboro, Orenco, Beaverton, Bridgeport, or S. Waterfront farmers markets. We will also be making a stop in Sisters and Bend August 23-24. 

Check out our upcoming events calendar here!

They are a fantastic organization that deserve recognition for their efforts. We are proud to support them and their mission!
