Pinot Noir is part of a well- lived life Volume 9, Issue 25 June 1, 2013 Pinot Noir Doctors “Inside each of us there’s another man or woman dying to get out. That other person is your alter ego, who begs you to cast aside your tedious, day-to-day routine and thrust yourself into the life you’ve always dreamed of living.” Fred W. Frailey, Editor, Kiplinger’s Although he was the most famous “Wine Doctor” and often called America’s greatest winemaker, Andre Tchelistcheff was not a licensed medical practitioner. There is, however, an extensive list of medical doctors who are winery owners, winegrowers or winemakers. In addition, there are many doctors who have combined their medical background and enjoyment of wine to become advocates of wine as part of a healthy lifestyle. Many Pinot Noir winemakers started out in a career path to become medical doctors. Examples abound, such as Dan Goldfield (Dutton-Goldfield), Natalie West (Foppiano Vineyards), Eric Hammacher (Hammacher Wines), Rod Berglund (Joseph Swan Vineyards), and Cécile Lemerie-Dèrbes (Derbès Wines) According to Wine into Word (James Gabler), the first book about wine was published by Arnaldus of Villanova, who was a physician, surgeon, botanist, alchemist, philosopher, writer, astrologer, lay theologian and counselor to kins and popes. About 1310, Arnald wrote a book on wine, but because the printing press had not yet been invented, his book was initially handwritten. In 1478, his book was translated into German and printed, making it the first book on wine to use this new invention. The first complete book in English on wine was by William Turner (1568), and the first (Sir Edward Berry), the second (Robert Shannon), and third (Alexander Henderson) books in English that discuss modern wines were written by physicians.

AAWE Working Paper No. 151 – Economics
AMERICAN ASSOCIATION OF WINE ECONOMISTS AAWE WORKING PAPER No. 151 Economics Classification and Re-Classification: Oregon’s Willamette Valley AVA and its New Sub-AVAs Omer Gokcekus and Clare M. Finnegan Feb 2014 www.wine-economics.org ISSN 2166-9112 Classification and re-classification: Oregon’s Willamette Valley AVA and its new sub-AVAs * Omer Gokcekus a and Clare M. Finnegan a Abstract: The creation of new, sub-AVAs within Oregon’s Willamette Valley AVA may indicate a desire on the part of well-established wineries to “split” or separate their social grouping from those with lesser qualifications. Once their social cluster has been differentiated, we theorize that these wineries would be able to capitalize on their newly developed distinctiveness and collect a larger regional reputation premium. Based on 2,221 Wine Spectator rated pinot noir wines between 1984 and 2008, regression analyses demonstrate that indeed regional reputation premiums have significantly increased with the creation of sub-AVAs; and that the price-quality ratio gap between sub-AVAs and the rest of Willamette has widened. (JEL Classification: C20, Q12, Q13, L66) Key Words: Wine, classification, terroir, AVA, regional reputation premium. * We would like to thank Karl Storchmann for providing the Wine Spectator data; and Huseyin Cakal, Neal Hulkower, Edward Tower and the participants of the Session 3: Regulating the Industry of the 7th Annual AAWE Conference in Stellenbosch, South Africa for their helpful comments and suggestions. a School of Diplomacy and International Relations, Seton Hall University, South Orange, 07079, USA.

Southern Oregon Wine History
Southern Oregon Location: The Southern Oregon AVA exists in the southwest portion of the state, stretching 125 miles from south of Eugene to the California border, and 60 miles at its widest between the Cascade Mountain Range to the east and the Coast Range to the west. It encompasses Umpqua Valley, Rogue Valley, Red Hill Douglas County, and Applegate Valley appellations. Wine history: Southern Oregon has the oldest history of grape growing in the state. It dates back to 1852 with an early area settler named Peter Britt, who operated a winery in Jacksonville. Post- prohibition winemaking started in 1961 when vintner Richard Sommer migrated from University of California at Davis and founded Hillcrest Vineyards in the Umpqua Valley. Impressed with the diversity of growing conditions in this area, other winemakers began planting roots in the 1970s, resulting in a patchwork of vineyards growing both cool- and warm-climate varieties. Today, this winegrowing region continues to grow and turn out a great variety of high-quality wines. The appellation became official in 2004. Climate: While this region provides the warmest growing conditions in Oregon, there exist cool microclimates within its varied hillsides and valleys that enable Southern Oregon to successfully grow both cool- and warm-climate varietals. This area receives significantly less rainfall than other viticultural areas in Oregon (40 percent less than the Willamette Valley) and is generally a warm, sunny, arid climate. Soils: Southern Oregon's soils are varied and complex, though generally derived from bedrock, specifically from the 200 million year old Klamath Mountains, which are comprised of sedimentary rocks, to the west.

Spatial Variability in Climate, Phenology, and Fruit Composition Across a Reference Vineyard Network in Southern Oregon
Spatial variability in climate, phenology, and fruit composition across a reference vineyard network in Southern Oregon Gregory V. Jones Center for Wine Education and Department of Environmental Studies Linfield College, McMinnville, Oregon, USA Abstract. This paper provides a summary of observational data from a reference vineyard network in the Southern Oregon American Viticultural Area (AVA). The network was established to collect baseline data on spatial variations in temperature, grapevine phenology, and composition characteristics across a collection of varieties grown in the region. The results from the period 2003 through 2017 show a wide diversity of climate types for winegrape production ranging from relatively cool to relatively warm conditions (GST 14.8 to 17.5°C and GDD 1109 to 1657). One unique climate aspect is that the region experiences higher diurnal temperature ranges during the growing season than regions in Europe and many others in the western US. Grapevine phenological timing and intervals between events are similar to other wine regions with budbreak averaging 14- Apr, flowering 14-Jun, véraison 19-Aug. However, harvest dates are up to ten days to two weeks later than many regions in Europe. Ripening period and harvest composition observations reveal the diversity of potential varieties that the region can ripen. Over all varieties, sites and vintages observed harvest composition averages 23.7 °Brix, 6.4 g/L total acidity, a pH of 3.44, and yields of 2.7 tons/acre. 1 Introduction Within region weather and climate controls on site plant growth and fruit composition are evident in every wine region worldwide [1].

Pacific Northwest STAFF TRAINING GUIDE
Pacific Northwest STAFF TRAINING GUIDE As the United States’ second and fourth largest wine producers, respectively, Washington State and Oregon represent two of the New World’s most dynamic winegrowing areas. The Cascade Mountains provide a diversity of climates, allowing for abundant varieties and styles. While Oregon has made its mark with Pinot Noir, and Washington with Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, and Syrah, both states offer much to explore beyond their signature grapes. 1 History Washington and Oregon’s winegrowing histories begin in the early to mid-19th century, decades before either achieved statehood. In Washington, the first grapes were planted in 1825 by the Hudson’s Bay Company at Fort Vancouver, while Henderson Luelling brought cuttings from Iowa along his journey west on the Oregon Trail in 1847. The Pacific Northwest’s first winery followed soon after, in 1854, when Peter Britt founded Valley View in Southern Oregon. In that same year, hybrid grape varieties arrived in Washington’s Puget Sound. The Walla Walla Valley saw its first vines in 1860. By the early 1900s, Washington and Oregon had burgeoning wine industries, but their growth was stifled by Prohibition. Both rebounded shortly after Prohibition’s repeal, and by 1938, there were 42 wineries in Washington. The 1950s and ’60s were decades of great modernization for both states. American Wine Growers, which would later be renamed Chateau Ste. Michelle and become Washington’s largest winery, was founded in 1954. Here, legendary winemaker André Tchelistcheff championed the planting of vinifera grapes in Eastern Washington. In Oregon’s Umpqua Valley, Richard Sommer founded HillCrest Vineyard in 1961, where he would plant the state’s first Pinot Noir and Riesling vines.
