aving a conversation with viticultural climatologist Greg Jones is much like drinking a glass of premium wine. With his bright intensity, Jones could be

compared to a fine vintage himself and after imbibing his fruit-driven wisdom, I invariably come away feeling smarter and better looking.

For our latest discussion, I found Professor Jones in his office on the Southern Oregon University campus where he is Director of the Division of Business, Communication and the Environment and professor and research climatologist in the Environmental Science and Policy Program. Though his official titles cover diverse areas of study, they all come together in a glass of Southern Oregon wine. How so? Winemaking is an agricultural enterprise, starting with the selection of a vineyard site and culminating in the production of grapes, but it is also the art and science of fermenting the juice and making decisions as to aging and blending to create the best expression of a particular varietal. A third component is marketing the finished product, essentially competing with a world-wide wine selection that can be found at almost any supermarket. This daunting enterprise requires the skills of farmer and chemist, a finely-tuned palate and plenty of business savvy.

It is with good reason that Jones is considered one of the most authoritative people in the wine world, one whose opinion is indispensable when it comes to deciding what variety of wine grape to plant where. Beginning with his doctoral thesis on the climatology of viticulture in Bordeaux, France, he has collected data on climate, hydrology, soils, weather and growing techniques in vineyards all over the world, helping to describe and define viticultural areas and assess best practices based on the quality of wines produced. His studies have also focused on climate change and sustainability in grape production, two increasingly hot topics in the wine world today. His contributions have earned him numerous accolades. He made Decanter magazines 2009 Power List of the fifty most influential people in the wine world and was named Oregon Wine Press 2009 Wine Person of the Year. In 2012 and 2013 intowine.com listed Jones among the hundred most influential people in the US wine industry.

In our region, with its emphasis on Pinot Noir, Jones is often called upon to evaluate sites for possible propagation of this cool weather varietal. Wait a minute. Did I say Pinot Noir is big in Southern Oregon? Yes, I did. Although this varietal has been famously identified with the northern reaches of our state, the Willamette

One COOL Conversationwith Greg Jones

by MJ DASPIT

The glass of wine youre drinking right now was influenced by many factors...from the grower to the wine maker to arguably the most important aspect of terroir...CLIMATE!


Valley in particular, it has been the predominant wine grape produced in Southern Oregon for some years. The 2008 Oregon Vineyard and Winery Report compiled by the Oregon Field Office of the USDA, shows that in the Rogue Valley American Viticultural Area (AVA), consisting of Jackson and Josephine Counties, the greatest tonnage of a single varietal harvested was 622 tons of Pinot Noir, with Pinot Gris a distant second at 445 tons. The 2013 report compiled by the Southern Oregon University Research Center (SOURCE) puts Pinot Noir tonnage harvested in the Rogue Valley AVA at 1,788 tons, nearly a three-fold increase in five years. Pinot Gris again came in second at 1,029 tons.

When you consider that wine grapes are typically produced where the growing season temperatures average between 53 and 71 degrees Fahrenheit and that Pinot Noir occupies an even narrower temperature band, 57.2 to 60.8 degrees, the fact that Oregons most southerly AVA is a Pinot Noir growing area is indeed surprising. When I ask how this is possible, bearing in mind toasty Rogue Valley summers, Jones explains that at sites suitable for Pinot Noir, temperatures are moderated by aspect and elevation. Slopes that receive primarily morning light are cooler than those with western exposure. Think of it as being similar to your house, he says. You wouldnt grow the same plants on the shady side as you would on the sunny side. With its northeast-facing slopes, DANCIN Vineyards, just outside Jacksonville, is a good example of the cooling effect of aspect. Higher vineyard elevations in the southeastern part of the Rogue Valley AVA also result in cooler temperatures. A good example of a higher site that produces excellent Pinot Noir is Irvine Family Vineyards in Ashlands Bear Creek Drainage, where vines thrive on east-facing slopes at 2,100 feet. What makes our Southern Oregon wine region so special is that growing sites run the temperature gamut from those favoring the cool varietals to the warmer conditions that make for Red Lilys lucious Tempranillo and Quady Norths big Syrah.

Jones hastens to add that Pinot Noir from Southern Oregon is typically a little more ripe, producing vintages with darker berry and plum notes on the palate, as compared to the lighter, more bright fruit Willamette flavors. Its little wonder that much of the Pinot Noir produced in Southern Oregon makes its way up north for blending purposes, especially in years when ripening in the northern AVAs has been problematic.

We also talked about cultivation practices that can protect grapes from excessive heat. In warmer vineyard blocks, canopies may be left leafier rather than being pruned to a narrow, straight up and down profile. This affords the fruit more shade and coolness. Row orientation and trellising strategies can be used for heat management as can application of kaolinite and bentonite. Jones asks if I have ever noticed the local pear orchards, how the leaves sometimes look white. In response to my blank look, he explains that whitish appearance is the result of treating the trees with kaolinite. When sprayed on the leaves, the powdered mineral reflects heat to cool the tree the way a white roof cools your house. Bentonite is a clay that attracts water. When applied around plant roots it helps retain moisture. Such practices will become increasingly important aspects of vineyard management given the continued impact of climate change.

And what about climate change? Jones is among those scientists who contend that although changes in climate have occurred throughout history, climate changes noted in recent times appear to be more rapid and of greater magnitude than in the past. What does this portend for the Southern Oregon wine industry? Undoubtedly there will be more challenges. Fortunately, in Greg Jones we have one of the worlds foremost experts on the subject to help our growers face them.

THANK YOU!


any people ask, Why take a wine tour? Cant I just drive myself? With 80+ registered wineries throughout the Southern Oregon AVA (American

Viticultural Area), the better question to ask is, Where do I want to go and who do I trust to get me there and back? A designated driver is always a good ideaa winery tour may be even better!

Southern Oregon produces not only diverse wines but custom tours to gratify your palate and pleasure. Most companies offer winery tours for both small and large groups, cater to weddings, special events and holidays, and are here to fill your glass with distinctive wines and tasting experiences that only Southern Oregon offers. Tours are affordable, can be customized, may include special perks and prices at wineries, and best of all, you can be social and simply enjoy the ride.

As Brad Niva, owner of Wine Hopper Tours highlights, We like to slow everything down. He emphasizes the tours are not just for tourists but special for locals, as well. Many local people don't realize what is here. But they can see the beauty and learn about the wine and wine country on a guided tour. We are ambassadors and our job is to pull people out of the valley and up into the wine lands of Southern Oregon.

On tours, people of the region and beyond can learn the importance of living within a vinicultural community. They become more aware of the potential the wine industry can bring to a community. People don't always understand what a wine culture is, that wine is not just for a party, but is a business, an industry, and a lifestyle. In our shift from timber to tourism, the beauty of our area and the distinguishing features of our diverse wines have already put us on the map.

Recently, Into the Vineyard, an international wine touring company featuring luxury tours to the finest wine regions on the planet added a new tour areaSouthern Oregon!

Wine tours are hot these days. They give you the opportunity to unwind, enjoy the scenery and stay legal. So heres how to get your wine onRogue-stylewith the ambassadors of Southern Oregon wine touring.

Wine Hopper Tours is now in their 5th season. The service was prompted by requests from local hotels looking for a way to support the growing wine industry while offering safety and high-quality service to their guests. Niva says their number of tours has doubled every year since. Wine Hopper Tours are wine-industry friendly, education-based programs with no drinking on-board the vans but with plenty of room to bring wine back with you. As Brad Niva reiterates, We are a developed type of tour and not a booze cruise. Wine Hopper considers themselves as guests visiting the wineries and strives to be good guests by embracing the wine industry as a whole, not just the wines. Within the tour, guests are treated as wine club members for the day, with discounts applying. They serve-up locally-sourced food at every stop and are conscious of specific dietary needs. Wine Hoppers goal is to help people understand and appreciate the wine lands of Southern Oregon. We aim to share what we have here and inspire people to take some Southern Oregon wine home with them, says Niva.

Bravo Outings is in their third season and listed as one of the Top 5 things to do out of Ashland. Owner Tracy Rice says they do tours for one person up to corporate groups. Were different in this type of private tour in that every tour is customized. We don't have a one size fits all. I ask what type of varietals people prefer and the overall experience of what people want and create the tour based on that information.

Bravo also offers door-to-door transportation so, no one ever has to drive after drinking. Rice says lunches can be planned along the way and they also like to combine sightseeing or a recreational component with the winery tours. Shes done Wildlife & Wine and is planning a Waterfall & Wine weekend in the Umpqua Valley later this summer. A Music & Wine tour is being offered, as well. Just ask, she says, Were open to anything within reason.

For those interested in a vintage-style ride while seeking their perfect Southern Oregon vintage, there are two out-of-the-ordinary trolley servicesAllaboard Trolley and Jubilee Trolley, both offering climate-controlled comfort and customized tours year-round.

Kari Sauve, owner of Allaboard Trolley says of their fully-renovated 1920s style Santa Barbara trolleys, Let the journey be the adventure. The trolley is part of the journey and creates part of the whole experience. The two-year-old service has affectionately personalized their tours by naming the sister trolleys, Molly and Dolly.

Allaboard Trolley offers door-to-door pickup and collaborates with local restaurants for antipasto plates that are served on-board. They service all of Southern Oregon within a 100 mile radius. Kari laughs and says, Sometimes we even drive out into the vineyards! She emphasizes that, We cater to everyone, and there is always a hostess on-board (usually her) to answer questions, serve the group, and make spontaneous changes. We prefer to meander, she says.

Jubilee Trolley is brand new this spring and will focus on tours in and around Jacksonville and into the Applegate Valley Wine trail. With a beautiful teal green exterior, mahogany interior and cupola on top, owner Gene Hooker describes it as Classy a classic Victorian-era trolley. Tours will run mid-day with a planned lunch stop. The trolley runs on compressed natural gas, making it 100% emission-free. Now, you can ride and sip in style while leaving a light, green footprint.

Cheers and Happy Touring!

A two-part article on the worldly-wise winemakers of Southern Oregon

by MJ DASPIT

Think GlobalWine Local

Hilda and Earl Jones


he Umpqua Valley has been home to growers of premium wine grapes ever since Richard Sommer

founded his historic HillCrest Vineyard about 10 miles west of Roseburg in 1961. But with the founding of a wine estate by Swiss-born vintner Philippe Girardet ten years later, the area became home to a unique set of internationally inspired and experienced winemakers, one of whom recently put the Umpqua Valley on the radar for wine aficionados world-wide.

Philippe Girardet grew-up in the Swiss town of Yverdon, working in his great uncles vineyard and making wine for guests at his familys inn. At 21, Girardet left Europe for Southern California, took a degree in engineering and joined Cal Techs Jet Propulsion Laboratory where he worked on projects related to US efforts to reach the moon. In 1971 Girardet and wife Bonnie founded a vineyard near Tenmile, Oregon on land formerly used to pasture sheep. Something about that pastureland reminded Girardet of the best vineyard lands of Europe. He planted 17 acres of Alsatian and Burgundy varietals with some Gamay Noir and Zinfandel thrown in. Twelve years later, two wines from his first commercially-released vintage received silver medals at the Oregon State Fair. Today the dry-farmed vineyard is 30 acres, about a third of which consists of original vines. Since 1999 Philippes son Marc has presided over vineyard management and annual production of 4,000 cases of premium wine. Marc spent time in 2008, '09, and '10 in the Rhone, Bordeaux and Burgundy regions of France tasting wines and studying vineyard practices. Back in Oregon in 2010 he planted Tempranillo, Sangiovese and Barbera on steep slopes and staked the vines instead of using trellises, copying the style of many Rhone vineyards. Vintages from all three varietals of these Girardet bush vines won gold medals in the 2015 New World International Wine Competition.

Since it seemed a good US-made red Spanish varietal was impossible to find, Earl and Hilda Jones wanted to find a winery site with potential to grow great Tempranillothe principal grape in Spanish Rioja and Ribera del Dueroso they could make their own. Their quest took them back to the Old World to understand Tempranillo viticulture and enology. The search to find a US climate comparable to Tempranillo-producing regions of Spain landed them eleven miles southwest of Roseburg, Oregon, where in 1995 they planted the first Tempranillo in the Pacific Northwest on an estate they named Abacela. The resultAbacela 1998 estate Tempranillo bested all the Spanish Tempranillo entered in the 2000 San Francisco Chronicle International Wine Competition. Inspired by their initial success, the Joneses began what eventually became 77 acres of experimental plantings, many of which were varietals never before grown in the Pacific Northwest. And how did that experiment turn out? You can find the answer for yourself in Abacelas outstanding premium wines.

Enter Dyson DeMara to take the internationalization of the Umpqua to a new level. DeMara developed an international palate and forged strong ties with winemakers all over the world during a career at Napas Robert Mondavi where he was on the Grape Quality Enhancement Team and in international marketing. His life changed one evening

while eating a venison wild mushroom risotto with a bottle of Grand Cru French Burgundy, Domaine Faiveley 1979 Mazis Chambertin, to be exact. DeMara decided he wanted to make Pinot Noir. With this new enthusiasm for the varietal, DeMara attended the International Pinot Noir Celebration in McMinnville and stopped in Roseburg on the way home. He noted citrus trees, meaning the area was free of damaging frost. When he saw a patch of red sandy loam at the lane leading to HillCrest, the right dirt, he knew hed found the perfect spot. In 2003 DeMara acquired the historic site, where Richard Sommer is credited with planting the states first Pinot Noir, and set out to make old world wines in modern times. The winery slogan applies not only to growing practiceshe dry farms and does all his own grafting with his own rootstock but also to his hands-free winery methods, a reference to eschewing chemical additives. DeMara uses concrete fermenters that maintain relatively constant temperature for gentler extraction of flavors during a 30 to 60-day skin contact period for reds, as well as large format cooperage, 1,000 liter Fuders from Germany, for barrel fermentation. But DeMara carries his old world slogan one step further, making wine internationally in the literal sense. He visits European friends he met while at Mondavi and collaborates with them to make very limited quantities of special wines which he then ships back to Oregon and offers for sale at HillCrest. These include a Grenache/Carignan blend made in Priorat, Spain; Riesling from the Mosel Valley of Germany; and native reds from Caltagirone, Sicily. DeMaras international status was burnished last year when he was invited to showcase three HillCrest vintages at the 900th birthday celebration of Stift Klosterneuburg Winery near Vienna, Austria. As the only North American vintner invited to pour at the events master class tasting gala for members of the international wine press, DeMara found himself explaining some basic New World geography, literally putting Oregon on the map.

Scott Kelley got his international chops representing Robert Mondavis overseas interests in Italy and Australia. At Mondavi he met Dyson DeMara and forged a friendship comprising some fifty years of international and domestic winemaking expertise. It should come as no surprise that they entered into a joint winemaking venture in 2012, establishing Roseburgs first urban winery. Dubbed "Paul OBrien," a combination of the owners middle names, the winery occupies the historic Hansen Chevrolet building. On the list at Paul OBrien are Riesling, Tempranillo and Pinot Noir sourced from the Umpqua Valley and the Moxy collection of warmer climate varietals including a 2009 Monterey County Tannat, a grape known for bold tannins that originated in the Basque region of France. Paul OBrien recently made news by announcing an agreement with Abadia de Acn Winery of the Ribera del Duero region of Spain to produce and bottle Tempranillo for exclusive sale in the US at Paul OBrien. Visitors to Paul OBrien will be able to side-by-side taste Umpqua Valley and Ribera del Duero Tempranillo produced collaboratively by DeMara, Kelley and their Spanish counterparts. It doesnt get much more international than that!

ines were entwined in Southern Oregons landscape as its eat-local movement started taking root. A decade later, farmers markets are awash

in locally-grown foods but rarely the regions wines. Yet the two are an ideal match, occasionally made on a single property, more often destined for a singular meal.

They definitely complement each other, says David Mostue, manager of Medfords Dunbar Farms, which yields an array of organic produce and grains, along with earthy red wines.

With just four of Dunbars 180 acres planted to wine grapes, viticulture is a fraction of its operation. Ample space is planned, however, for pouring Bordeaux-style blends, bottled under the Rocky Knoll label, in Dunbars new farm store. A commercial kitchen will pair food and wine from the same soil.

A healthy farm is a diverse farm, says Mostue. The wine is the opportunity to have that discussion.

Discussion among vintners, farmers and chefs typically turns to terroir. The French term for the effect of location, climate, soil and growing conditions on a wines character also applies, experts say, to other agricultural products. Theres no better argument for supporters of their local wine industry to also favor fruits, vegetables, meats, cheeses and other fare specific to the region.

As a chef, thats really exciting, says Kristen Lyon, who bases her catering and specialty-foods business in Jacksonville.

I was just amazed at how different the carrots were between Dunbar Farms, between Barking Moon Farm.

Those differences are on full display at farmers markets. From the small but thriving Williams Farmers Market that convenes Monday afternoons to bustling Saturday markets between Roseburg and Ashland, Southern Oregon hardly suffers a day without an open-air outlet for growers goods.

It seems like every place has a farmers market now, says Michael Donovan, managing director of Ashlands Irvine Family Vineyards, formerly of RoxyAnn Winery.

As interest in supporting small, local farms accelerated several years ago, Donovan helped to install a farmers market at Medfords Hillcrest Orchard that has since gone by the wayside. But the market just steps from RoxyAnns tasting room says Donovan, was part of a long-range plan to foster an authentic experience of people coming to a working farm.

They want that sense of place, says Donovan. RoxyAnn regulars, he says, enjoyed the additional perk of purchasing fresh

produce and specialty foods while out wine-tasting. Meanwhile, a contingent of farmers-market devotees discovered RoxyAnns label, he adds.

It was a two-way street.Markets dual roles as retail outlets and promotional events benefit both vendors

and shoppers. Like sampling wines in tasting rooms, where customers can request more information and make comparisons, frequenting farmers markets connects consumers more closely to their food.

I think the face-to-face is very important, says Suzi Ginet, a Williams cattle rancher and grape grower. I can answer their questions one-on-one.

Ginets Plaisance Ranch is one of just a few Southern Oregon wine estates selling its vintages at farmers markets, mostly to patrons familiar with the label who want a bottle with dinner. The bigger market draw is Ginets organic beef raised entirely on pastures that share 210 acres with 26 varieties of wine grapes, including its flagship Mondeuse variety, reclaimed from Joe Ginets extended family in France.

Thats a perfect pairing: beef with wine, says Suzi Ginet. The flavor of Plaisance beef, says Ginet, owes as much to terroir as its wines do, a

fact that she and husband Joe little realized when trading their dairy herd for beef cattle about a decade ago.

People kept telling me I dont like grass-fed beef, says Ginet. We were just lucky.

Fortunately, the Ginets had never plowed one of their pastures, resplendent in native grasses. Plaisance also produces particularly-sweet hay, they say. Priced from $6 to $19 per pound, the full spectrum of beef cuts, as well as hot dogs and jerky, are available at the Williams Farmers Market and Grants Pass Growers Market.

People know that it is local, and it is fresh, and theyre welcome to come out and see the cows, says Suzi Ginet.

Local has become way more important than it used to be, says Joe Ginet. Its almost equal to organic and grass-fed.

Beyond the organic pedigree, locally grown and produced foods retain more nutrients in the short trip to farmers markets, says Lyon, compared with grocery-store counterparts that travel hundreds or thousands of miles after harvest. Bypassing days or weeks in storage, farmers-market produce stays fresher longer after purchase, making it a better value, says Lyon.

It makes you feel good about spending the money. Customers feel even better about buying Lyons salads, soups, quiches, potpies

and other to-go dishes when they know she selected ingredients at farmers markets. The chef intentionally sets up her Farm Kitchen stall next to the booth for Central Points historical Hanley Farm, where Lyon not only sources seasonal vegetables but also hosts special events, including winemaker dinners.

Its amazing to have that close connection, she says. A wine culture and a food culture need to feed off of each other.

Southern Oregons Newest Destination Wine Event

David Mostue

or many of us living in Southern Oregon, we have always known the area was destined for great things. The natural beauty of the landscape,

the spirit of place and solidarity of community are the heart of our quality of life. It is what brings people here and keeps most from leaving. And until recently, it was a bit of a secret. But all that is about to change! In wine language, Southern Oregon is in bud break.

People have long sought-out pears and apples and artisan foods from this area without the awareness of where 'this area' really is. Cultural arts and theater have flourished, historic preservation thrived, and wellness lifestyle endured. We've got it all and now adding to the blend, Oregon Wine Experience (OWE) and Asante Foundation are opening the door to Oregon's newest destination wine event. The fruit is on the vine.

In 2002, the World of Wine Festival (WOW) was founded by three local vintners, Cal Schmidt of Schmidt Family Vineyards, Lee Mankin of Carpenter Hill Vineyard, and Joe Ginet of Plaisance Ranch, as a celebration of the local wine industry. From the beginning, the festival has been a community partnership of wineries and vineyards, Rogue Valley Growers, Southern Oregon Winery Association, various Southern Oregon Wine Trails and a 100% volunteer event. In 2005, a wine competition was started. WOW became Southern Oregon's largest wine tasting event as participants and attendees increased each year. The seeds were planted for possibilities and continued growth.

Asante Foundation took the reins in 2014 to provide a local fundraising event. As the region's premier wine tasting event and competition, many events sold-out. There were 1,140 total attendees, 700 for the Grand Tasting alone, the festival brought in almost $300,000 that directly benefited Childrens Miracle Network (CMN) and other healthcare programs supported by Asante Foundation.

This year is expected to be even more extraordinary!As Oregon's newest wine destination, Southern Oregon and OWE

offer a pilgrimage of the senses like nothing here before. Talks, tastings and sensory classes, intimate vintner dinners, the wine competition and auctions, all make-up the experience that is Southern Oregon wine.

Ancient traditions blend in the Miracle Auction and Salmon Bake. Destined to be the gourmet outdoor buffet of the season, with music and dancing under starlit skies, the heart of this evening is in sharing the bounty of the land and waters through community.

The wine competition offers healthy community competition for local vintners, as well. Many Southern Oregon wines have received numerous accolades and awards from a variety of regional, national and international competitions. Oregon Wine Experience rounds-out the event with their own wine competition featuring wine industry-renowned tasters and experts judging this area's finest varietals and blends. The possibilities of taste and sensory experience are endless.

The Vintner Dinners and Grand Tasting offer opportunities to get up-close and personal with some of the local winemakers and growers. Vibrancy and laughter will prevail, along with stories and memories that will stay with you for a very long time to come.

Oregon Wine Experiencethe event of the season... a celebration in the giving of life, the delights of the senses and a pillar in community strength. Destiny is at our door...come share the experience that is Southern Oregon.

where agriculture meets artistry

Distinctive from land to glass. From lush valley floors to steep terraced hillsides, vineyards are planted on all kinds of topography in countless wine regions around the world. While wine country is always picturesque, few settings are as strikingly beautiful as the Applegate Valley in Southern Oregon. In what Sunset Magazine called Wine country the way it should be, here youll find a group of 18 unique wineries producing a diverse array of outstanding wines.

Plan your trip @www.applegatewinetrail.com


SCHMIDT FAMILY VINEYARDS was established by Cal and Judy Schmidt on the 75-acre Bennett Ranch in the Missouri Flat section of the Applegate Valley. They planted their vineyard in 2001, and began producing premium wine in 2004. But that hardly describes what youll find when you visit the estate. Picture a classical craftsman structure nestled in sumptuous gardens against magnificent mountain vistas and you almost have it.To appreciate the beauty that has been created here, you must visit the tasting room with its soaring ceiling, parsons chairs and stone fireplace with a fire on the hearth. The award-winning wines, even before you taste them, are beautiful, with their labels featuring classical botanical illustrations. As delicious as Schmidts hearty redsMerlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, Syrah, Malbec, Cabernet Franc, Pinot Noir and Zinfandelare, the elegant whitesChardonnay, Sauvignon Blanc, Viognier, Pinot Gris, Riesling and Albario are, too! But delicious doesnt stop there. Have a pizza or calzone from the outdoor oven, or an antipasto plate. Browse the Mercantile with its crafts by local artisans. But dont forget to stroll the grounds where, if youre lucky, you might spy a bride and groom posing for pictures in the gazebo surrounded by flowers with blue mountains in the background and infinite possibility in their eyes.

WOOLDRIDGE CREEK is a winery, but its also a story about a place, a partnership and a plan. The place is a tract on Slagle Creek Road deep in the Applegate Valley winegrowing region of Southern Oregon. The partnership arose between the couple who planted the vineyard back in 1977 and the couple who wanted to add a winery to that vineyard. The plan came together in 2005 when the winery was built and Wooldridge Creek wines were born.The great thing is this: the formation of the Wooldridge Creek team, while kismet, has stood the test of time. It continues to make sense and make exceptional vintages. The original 18-acre vineyard has expanded to 56, planted to Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Cabernet Franc, Syrah, Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, Viognier, Sangiovese, Zinfandel, Malbec, Petit Verdot and Tempranillo. The two couples are still two couples, committed to each other and to the vision that brought them together. And the plan has succeeded beyond belief. Today the sustainably-designed winerygravity fed to eliminate pumps, built into a hillside and evaporation cooled to naturally maintain correct temperaturesconsistently produces exceptional vintages expressive of Wooldridge Creeks special place. Whats more, the plan is still growing. With a taste of fine wine, visitors can also sample cheeses from Wooldridge Creeks new CrushPad Creamery.

LONGSWORD VINEYARD, with 10 acres planted to Chardonnay and Pinot Noir in 1982, became the property and abiding interest of former pharmaceutical research scientist Matt Sorensen in 1999. Since that time, hes presided over all facets of the vineyard and winery, lovingly seeing each of his vintages from vine to bottle. Since 2002 the Longsword label has appeared on non-oaked estate Chardonnay known under the proprietary name Invitation, distinguished by its crisp mineral and citrus notes. A semi-sparkling Chardonnay, Accolade was soon added to the repertoire, and more recently a Longsword Pinot Noir was introduced under the name Phrase. New wines will also include a semi-sparkling ros, whole-berry fermentation Merlot and other surprises. All Longsword wines are available exclusively at their tasting room nestled in the Applegate Valley.Come sit as long as you like in the tasting room or on the patioa picture-postcard site shaded by yellow and white umbrellas with views of the vineyard and hang gliders drifting down from Woodrat Mountain. Lingering is encouraged. While you relax, you might be visited by the resident Pilgrim geese, the Plymouth Barred Rock chickens or the Baby Doll Southdown sheep. You might even catch a glimpse of Matt tending vines or mending fences.

SLAGLE CREEK VINEYARDS owner Bob Denman has produced top-quality, low-yield Chardonnay, Merlot and Syrah for thirty-five years, hand-tending one of the highest-elevation winegrowing sites in the Applegate Valley. On a southwest-facing slope of stony loam that experiences warm days and cool nights, Denmans old vine grapes develop intense varietal character sought-after by winemakers for their premium vintages. In 2001 Denman established the Slagle Creek label, a brand that consistently earns top honors at regional and international competitions such as the San Francisco Chronicle Wine Competition, Finger Lakes International Wine Competition, and the Newport Seafood and Wine Festival.Though his wines have retailed at outlets all over Southern Oregon for years, only recently have they had a winery tasting venue. Slagle Creek Merlot, Tempranillo, Syrah, Gewrztraminer, Chardonnay, Port-style dessert wine, and a Tempranillo/Cabernet Sauvignon blend are currently offered for tasting at Longsword Vineyard in the heart of the Applegate Valley. And, in late-breaking news, a 2014 Zinfandel has been added to the Slagle Creek line-up. Made with fruit from 30-year-old vines and set for release around August 2016, this is a vintage that wine aficionados looking for the best the Applegate has to offer will want not want to miss.

VALLEY VIEW is an iconic name in the Rogue Valley. Not only is it the name of Peter Britts original Jacksonville winery, circa 1858, but it also came to be the name of the first modern winery in the Rogue Valley, founded by Frank & Ann Wisnovsky and family in the Applegate Valley and bonded in 1978. From estate vines planted in 1972, Wisnovsky made Bordeaux varietals up until his death in 1980 when Valley View operations were passed on to his sons.The nearly 40-year-old winery is now operated by Mark and Michael Wisnovsky. The vineyard has more than doubled in size since the original planting and now includes Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, Tempranillo, Viognier, Sauvignon Blanc, Rousanne, Chardonnay and Syrah. Wines have been made by UC Davis-trained enologist John F. Guerrero since 1985, making him one of the longest-term winemakers in Oregon. Wines offered at the Applegate Valley Wine Pavilion in Ruch include Rogue Valley red and white blends, as well as Chardonnay, Viognier, Riesling, Syrah, Tempranillo, Pinot Noir, Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc and several dessert wines bottled under the premium Anna Maria label. Valley Views Rogue Red is the best-selling red wine blend.Special events sponsored by Valley View include white water rafting trips, the Hearts & Vines charity auction, gourmet wine dinners at Jacksonville Inn, and demonstrations of art glass crafting at the winery.

LEDGER DAVID CELLARS Central Point venue, dubbed Le Petit Tasting Room, is spectacularly located between the world-renowned Rogue Creamery and equally-famous Lillie Belle Chocolates. Amid these culinary stars, Ledger David shines brightly, having recently burnished its reputation for premium estate wines by winning nine medals from at 2015 San Francisco Chronicle Wine Competition. According to Ledger David winemaker Kiley Evans, the awards validate a focus on both varietals and blends. Ledger Davids first Tempranillo blend, 2011 Dark Night, the first Syrah-based blend, 2012 Epitome of Three, and the flagship Cabernet Franc-based blend, 2011 Orions Nebula, all brought home some hardware.That such a young winery succeeded so brilliantly at this prestigious competition, with over 6,400 entries, speaks to the quality of the estate fruit as well as the winemaking. Ledger David fruit comes from the Varner-Traul Vineyard planted in 2007 to Chenin Blanc, Malvasia Bianca, Viognier, Chardonnay, Sauvignon Blanc, Cabernet Franc, Syrah, Malbec, Sangiovese, Tempranillo and Petit Verdot. In the supremely-capable hands of winemaker Kiley Evans, the awards will keep on coming. With so many stellar selections on its list, its no wonder Ledger David's label was designed around an artists conception of three stars of Orions belt.

2HAWK is Ross and Jennifer Allens first foray into the winery business. For Ross its all about managing a vineyard to produce the finest premium wine grapes by applying all that hes learned about sustainable growing practices over a 30-year agricultural career. For Jennifer, previously an office management specialist, its the opportunity to attract a return clientele to a lovely estate tasting room, making each visit so enjoyable it demands an encore. Since acquiring 2Hawk in 2014, the Allens have re-energized the brand, collaborating with winemaker Linda Donovan of Pallet Wine Company to produce 2Hawks estate Tempranillo and Viognier. Locally-sourced wines including Cabernet Sauvignon, Malbec, Riesling, Chardonnay, Sauvignon Blanc, and others, are also custom-made for the 2Hawk label. What remains highly recognizable about 2Hawk from its first opening in 2012, is the extraordinary tasting room. It features reclaimed lumber from as far away as Pennsylvania and as near as Medford, and river stone unearthed when the vineyard was planted. 2Hawk is an unforgettable place to enjoy small plates and weekly live music performances as you try some fine Rogue Valley wines.

With the first harvest in 2001, RoxyAnn Winery was born.Today the RoxyAnn estate vineyard runs to 70 acres from which the winery produces 15,000 cases of award-winning Claret, Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, Tempranillo, Viognier, Syrah, Pinot Noir, Pinot Gris and Chardonnay.

STONERIVER VINEYARD and tasting room is easy to get to and is a place youll instantly fall in love with. The tasting room and vineyards are set in a gorgeous country setting just minutes from Ashland and Medford in the foothills west of I-5. Less than 3 miles from the Talent and Phoenix exits (21 & 24), the tasting room is housed in a converted old, wood barn which for most of the last century, was used as a country store for Pioneer Orchards, well-known locally for its outstanding peaches, apples and cherries. If you are visiting for the first time, youll be pleasantly surprised at how warm and comfy an old barn can be. Owner Virginia Lange has done a superb job of creating a tasting room that fits her belief that the tasting environment is as important to the tasting experience as the outstanding wines they produce. To add to this special experience, Virginia has included a juke box loaded with 50s and 60s favorites, a regulation-size shuffleboard, and even a player piano. Stoneriver has 35 acres planted to 13 varietals. Wines currently available include: Syrah, Merlot, Rose, Pinot Gris, Chardonnay, and Viognier with three new selections coming this summer!

Roy Paschal, a man with big dreams and determination to make them come true, started PASCHAL WINERY & VINEYARD in 1990. With a sharp business sense and a deep love for farming, Roy still jokingly calls himself an absentee owner who didnt know how to spell wine! Notwithstanding, the 22-acre estate just south of Medford has become an established favorite among Rogue Valley wine enthusiasts, especially those who pass-by the vineyard while riding their bikes in the beautiful surrounding pear country.After a brief change of ownership in 2009, the Paschal family reclaimed the estate and winery and now again offers award-winning wines like Viognier, Pinot Gris, an array of Pinot Noirs and a variety of blends including a new local favorite, Sisters Dream. You can enjoy wine tasting or wine by the glass along with Paschals famous food platters and truly-magnificent views of the vineyards, Cascade foothills and miles of pear orchards. Not-to-be missed are their CorknFork Dinners on Wednesday evenings, (with menus catered by local restaurants and live music) Sunday Happy Hours, and a number of concerts. Paschal hosts art openings, wine and food pairings, fundraisers and private gatherings. The owners and the winemaker are usually behind the bar, or working in the vineyards and always welcome guests with open arms with their signature European hospitality.
