It’s the Place, Stupid! Volume 7, Issue 22 August 4, 2009 Papa Pinot’s Legacy Pervades 2009 IPNC “David Lett defined the term “visionary,” sailing against a strong current as he fulfilled the promise of Oregon wine. He planted grapes where others deemed it impossible, understanding that the very finest wines are often grown where it is most perilous, and he thrived on that challenge. His personality set the tone for the character of the Oregon wine industry, and his stunning wines rewarded his fearlessness, focus and independence. For those who prefer their opinions strong and their wines elegant, David was your man. What an inspiration.” Ted Farthing, Oregon Wine Board Executive Director, Oregon Wine Press, January 2009 Each July for the past twenty-four years, McMinnville, Oregon, has become Beaune in the USA. 700 Pinot geeks from all over the country and from every corner of the world descend on this inauspicious town to celebrate the fickle darling of wine cognoscenti and revel in their indulgence. The International Pinot Noir Celebration (IPNC) is held on the intimate and bucolic campus of Linfield College, but there is no homework or written tests, and no dreadful lectures at 8:00 in the morning, just an abundance of great Pinot Noir paired with the delicious bounty of Oregon prepared by the Pacific Northwest’s most talented chefs, and plenty of joie de vivre. This year’s IPNC, held on July 24-26, 2009, marked the twenty-third event, dating back to 1987, when a group of grape farmers and winemakers assembled to figure out a way to promote Oregon wine.

While we had bud break later in 2016 than we had in 2015, the warm weather in April and May progressed the vine growth enough to push up bloom. You can just about set your clock from the time of bloom to the first day of harvest…100 days. When we had bloom on May 20th (Mid-June is more typical for the start of bloom) we could see that August 28th would be the start of harvest. An August start date is not scary, it just is what mother nature gives you. We all took our summer vacations in July and were ready to go by mid-August so we could bring in some fruit for our sparkling wine programs on August 19th. It was not an especially dry year as we got our typical dump of rain during the winter of 15/16, and even had some wet weather during our early bloom in May/June which ended up destroying a lot of the clusters.

Thanks to favorable weather at bloom and an extended warm growing season with no weather pressures, growers with heavier crop loads than in the past were blessed with fully ripened and mature fruit. Overall, yields are well up from the previous two harvests, where smaller fruit sets and other weather pressures produced lower than average yields.

Pinotfile Vol 10 Issue 10
Pinot Noir is a capricious child that rewards humility Volume 10, Issue 10 May 13, 2015 Oregon Wine Is Killing It! It seemed only natural to kick off this May issue with a tasting of Oregon wines since May is Oregon Wine Month. The Oregonians have plenty to celebrate, as the wine business is killing it, leading the nation in wine sales in 2014. According to the 2015 Wine Sales Report by Ship Compliant, Oregon had the fastest growth in direct to consumer (DtC) sales to customers in 2014, over double the next leading region. The figures reflect an increasing demand for Pinot Noir, and Oregon Pinot Noir in particular, across the country. The volume of DtC shipments of cases of Oregon wine increased 46% in 2014, compared to regions in California and the rest of the U.S. that were below 16% increases in volume. DtC shipments from Oregon wineries increased 53% in value. The average cost of a bottle of Oregon wine was $39.72, a 4.2% increase over 2013. Since most Oregon wineries are small (5,000 cases or less production annually), they lack distribution and must concentrate on DtC sales through wine clubs and other marketing ventures. Full Glass Research study found that the Oregon wine industry had an economic impact of $3.3 billion in 2013. Planted acreage increased by 18 percent since 2011, the number of wineries increased by 45 percent and there was a 39 percent increase in sales. Part of the success has been a focus on the higher-quality, higher- priced segment of the wine market.

65032 Tuality Salud Booklet 2020.Indd
WELCOME 2020 is a year of change. In every corner of the world, and in every area of our own lives, things are very different than they were one year ago. And with that change, there has been struggle. A struggle to find new ways of doing what must be done, a struggle to let go of what can no longer be, and for some, a struggle to survive. Between the moments of struggle, remarkable adaptation has taken root – growing despite challenge. Together, we have created, we have collaborated, and we have adapted. Still in progress, and evolving, but from challenge has risen a new recognition of the ways in which we are connected. So here we are – somewhat disconnected physically, but adapting together to create solutions for the evolving challenge of healthcare disparities in our community. Thank you for showing up to create a strong, stable safety net of accessible, affordable healthcare for Oregon’s vineyard workers and their families. Thank you for saying yes to acknowledging your actions, your contributions can help shape the storyline of this challenging year, and strengthen our response for the future. ¡Salud!

Eyrie Pinot Noir Single Vineyards
ESTATE SINGLE VINEYARD PINOT NOIR COLLECTION THE VITICULTURE & VINIFICATION Our five vineyards are all remarkable examples of Pinot noir in the Willamette Valley. Not only has each been farmed organically since inception, each vineyard contains ungrafted, pre-Phylloxera plantings that are vanishingly rare in the world of wine. These five cuvées are produced identically, with the same fermentation regimes of wild yeast and small fermentation vessels, followed by aging in blends of cooperage with 12% new oak in each. The result is a fascinating journey up the Dundee Hills, from our lowest elevation Sisters vineyard at 220’ up to our highest elevation Daphne vineyard at 860’. Each wine reflects facets of soil, site, exposure, and vine age that together capture a precise portrait of how variations in place can influence Pinot noir. ABOUT THE EYRIE VINEYARDS In January of 1965, Eyrie founder David Lett arrived in Oregon with 3,000 grapevine cuttings and a theory. He believed that the Willamette Valley had the right combination of climate and soil to produce Pinot noir unmatched outside of Burgundy. Inspired by a pair of red-tailed hawks thatmade their nest, an eyrie, in the fir trees overlooking their first vineyard site, David and his new bride Diana christened their fledgling endeavor The Eyrie Vineyards. Just as the descendants of those hawks still make their home above the vineyard, David and Diana’s son Jason continues the Lett family tradition of producing fine Eyrie wines. The Eyrie Vineyards, PO Box 697, Dundee, OR 97115 phone: 503.472.6315 fax: 503.472.5124 www.eyrievineyards.com EYRIE VINEYARDS ESTATE SINGLE VINEYARD PINOT NOIR COLLECTION PINOT NOIR SISTERS Elevation: 220’–330’ Planted: 1989–present Acres: 4 Named for the three Pinot sister varieties on the site, gris, blanc and noir, the four acres of Pinot here, planted in 1987 to Pommard and Wadenswil clones, often carry a flowery scent on top of earth and fruit.

Detailed Trip Description
zephyradventures DETAILED TRIP DESCRIPTION OREGON MULTISPORT & WINE ADVENTURE From its rough-and-tumble coastline to volcanic mountains, crystal-clear lakes and high deserts, Oregon offers an unparalleled diversity in landscapes and beauty. What you might not realize is that the state is also a world-class wine region with 17 distinct winegrowing regions and more than 450 wineries producing 72 varieties of grapes (including renowned Pinot Noirs that have won many awards in recent years)! However, Oregon is still in its infancy as far as wine tourism is considered. On this five-day active wine adventure, we visit wine regions ranging from the hip college town of Eugene to the northern Willamette Valley to the Columbia Gorge . by foot, by bicycle, and by canoe. We have created unique vineyard walks, a canoe trip on the beautiful Willamette River, and an exhilarating bike route through the Hood River Valley that brings us down the lower slopes of Mount Hood. Oregon’s wine country is spread over thousands of acres and dominated by small, family run wineries. If you love wine, you’ll be thrilled with all the sipping of local Pinot Noirs, Chardonnays, Pinot Gris, and Rieslings. Each owner, vintner or winemaker we meet has a great story to tell and we will hear many of them. All this makes our wine adventure in Oregon unique and special. Join us and be in the vanguard of active wine tourism! DAILY ITINERARY DAY 1: After assembling our group in Portland after lunch, we’ll travel east and into the Hood River Valley.
