Nicholson Library Linfield College 900 SE Baker Street McMinnville, OR 97128 Reference Number: 503-883-2734 Reference Email: [email protected] Language: English Biographical Note: Cole Danehower was a prominent wine writer who focused on the industries of the Pacific Northwest. He began his wine-writing career shortly after moving to Oregon. From there, he expanded his knowledge and involvement in the industry, leaving his personalized mark. Before relocating to Oregon, Danehower resided in California where he worked in the marketing departments of various technology companies. He was enchanted with wine — though not California wine —and made the decision to move to Oregon to start anew. It was during his early time in Oregon that he met his wife, Andrea. Cole Danehower started the Oregon Wine Report in 1999. Along with the OWR, he also became the co-owner of Northwest Palate and continued to write for newspapers such as the Oregonian. While writing about the many facets of the wine industry was his main job, Danehower also participated in wine tastings and acted as a judge in several competitions. In 2003, Danehower was awarded the Appreciation Award from the Oregon Wine Advisory Board, and he received the James Beard Foundation Journalism Award for Most Outstanding Food and Wine Newsletter in North America in 2004. Cole’s legacy includes: his Essential Wines and Wineries of the Pacific Northwest, a book focused on the wine regions of Washington, Oregon, Idaho, and British Columbia; “Pour the Passion,” a consulting business focused on wine communications and marketing; and the Cole Danehower Memorial Scholarship, aimed at helping students looking to study or have a focus in wine at Oregon colleges. Content Description: This collection contains a variety of materials from Cole Danehower’s professional life. Such items include his own publications and articles on the wine industries of the Pacific Northwest, recorded interviews on audiotape, photographs from site visits, and materials pertaining to Cole’s life in California.

  • Birkenhead-House-Wine-List
    Welcome to the wine list of Birkenhead House. Having spent much of my working life involved with wine, I have tried to create a wine list that has a true representation from the wines in South Africa and balanced with wines of both New World and the Old World in style, providing wines to suit most tastes and palates. I am often asked what my favourite wine is and my answer would be that I really do not have one. There are so many great wines made in South Africa that it depends upon the occasion, what I am eating, the time of year but I think most importantly the company I’m in. I have selected a range of House wines from our surrounding areas to offer a variety of grape types to suit many dishes, which are all available by the glass or bottle. This wine list is a work in progress and hopefully will never be finished. Please also note that some of the vintages offered are rare and we might not carry large quantities. If you have the time look through the list there are some fantastic wines from both individual family producers to large winemaking companies. They all have their place on our list and I have tasted them all. If you would like to talk about a particular wine or need some help selecting, please feel free to ask. However I am a great believer in “Drink what you like, when you like.” Wine is all part of the occasion, the more you enjoy what we have to offer at Birkenhead House the better the wine will taste.

  • Pinotfile Vol 7 Issue 22
    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.

    382 Book and Film Reviews VIVIAN PERRY and JOHN VINCENT: Winemakers of the Willamette Valley: Pioneering Vintners from Oregon’s Wine Country. American Palate, Charleston, South Carolina, 2013, 160 pp., ISBN: 978-1609496760 (paperback), $19.99. CILA WARNCKE: Oregon Wine Pioneers. Vine Lives Publishing, Portland, Oregon, 2015, 234 pp., ISBN: 978-1943090761 (paperback), $19.99. Admittedly, it was hard to write a dispassionate review of books that so lovingly describe the region in which I live and so admiringly profile many of my acquain- tances in the Oregon wine industry. Therefore, I used as measures of merit how well each echoed my impressions of this most beautiful area and its people, and whether each accomplished its objectives. Perry’s and Vincent’s Winemakers of the Willamette Valley (WWV) “is meant to showcase the stories of a handful of Oregon’s many Willamette Valley winemakers” (WWV, p. 11). A foreword by Chehalem founder Harry Peterson-Nedry sets the per- sonal tone that pervades those stories. Next, in a mere eight pages of text, the first chapter, “History of the Willamette Valley Wine Region,” covers the climate, soil, grape selection, craftsmanship, industry structure and early success in sufficient detail to provide valuable context. The authors then share intimate interviews with eighteen vintners and vignerons. Within each chapter named for one or two wine- makers are brief descriptions of the wineries that each is affiliated with. These include year founded, ownership, varietals, tasting room location, hours and con- tacts. Sustainability features, a point of pride in the Oregon wine industry, are also listed.
