PICNIC IN THE VINES

by SARAH LEMON
The setting may be park-like with lush lawns,

genteel gardens and stately trees. Or a rustic refuge
of sun-dappled fields fronting country roads.
ocal vineyards and wineries lay a feast for the eyes

that invite visitors to break bread. Picnics fulfill the
bill of fare.
I think that visual appeal is almost as fun as that
eating and drinking part, says Ashley Cates, marketing
and sales manager for Agate Ridge Vineyard.
Any appealing blanket or tablecloth supplies the
canvas for spreads as straightforward as bread, cheese
and fruit or as thoughtful as composed salads and
cold soups. In either, Southern Oregon wines are the
essential element.
The more people have sustenance, the longer theyre
going to stay, says Cates.
Cold antipasti platters composed at Agate Ridge
fortify visitors for afternoons and evenings spent
picnicking at the Eagle Point property, which produces
14 varietals. New this summer, Agate Ridge staff will
assemble bento boxes of Rogue Creamery cheeses,
Harry & David fruits and Coquette Bakery breads, says
Cates. The array, she adds, can be personalized with
Happy Habanero jams and Shibui balsamic reduction,
crafted locally and paired perfectly with 2012 Viognier
and 2013 Semillon Sauvignon Blanc.
We offer a lot of locally-sourced foods and snacks in
the tasting room.
Offering something for everyone, Agate Ridge also
sells craft beers and engages local food trucks that lend
their brands of cuisine to Rockin at the Ridge, the
winerys summertime concert series, every other Friday
evening June through September. Admission is $8.
The customers like to see a different (truck) every
time, says Cates.
Crowds clamoring for Karen Lovely, Fret Drifters
and other local bands playing at Agate Ridge can sup
on street food inspired by Asia, Peru and flavors of the
Rogue Valley, says Cates. And picnickers receive an
equally warm welcome.
We encourage picnics almost more than we do
to buy our own food, says Cates. Do whatever you
want to do; come whenever you want to come; bring
whatever you want to bring.
This laissez-faire mentality also prevails at Schmidt
Family Vineyards. The Applegate Valley estate boasts
a wood-fired oven that furnishes a daily menu of
handmade breads, pizzas and calzones highlighting
Schmidts own fresh produce. But Schmidt sanctions any
and all interpretations of wine-country cuisine, says Rene
Brons, tasting-room director and assistant winemaker.
Someone brought in Subway sandwiches one time,
says Brons. Sometimes, people will bring a little cake
and have a birthday party.
Special events are a Schmidt specialty, owing to its
87 acres of picturesque landscape. Thirty acres are
planted in grapes, and several more are maintained

with walking trails, water features, manicured meadows
and herb, flower and vegetable gardens. The property is
open daily, year-round, even during weddings and other
private celebrations.
We have several gazebos, says Brons. We have tons
of heaters outside, and we have a lovely fire ring.
Lounging on patio chairs is just as permissible as on
the grass, says Brons. Guests can rearrange the outdoor
furniture and move meals ordered from the kitchen to
spots more secluded than the well-appointed terrace,
she says.
An undiscovered, little gem, the lath house in the
winerys upper garden is an ideal locale to linger over
Caesar salads paired with 2013 Chardonnay and pizza
Margherita with 2014 Mystery Rose. Schmidts zoning
allows for wine consumption anywhere on the property,
she adds.
People just come and fill up the grounds.
If the several dozen tables are full, or the weather
inclement, visitors can picnic right in the tasting room,
says Brons. No alcohol obtained off site is the only
restriction, which holds true at other local wineries.
Yet every other aspect of picnicking provides for an
individualized epicurean experience, says Cates. She
likes to recast her side-dish leftoverspotato, fruit or
Greek saladsin starring roles, supported with a lineup
of bread, cold cuts, nuts and fruit from Agate Ridges
trees. A special picnic basket heightens the sense of
nostalgia, says Cates.
When I picnic, I prefer to do it my own way.
Following a few rules of proper food handling,
however, ensures enjoyable picnicking. Keep cold
foods cold40 degrees or belowto ward off bacterial
growth between the home kitchen and picnic site. While
the traditional wicker basket makes a stylish picnic
statement, an ice chest or insulated bag are better bets in
Southern Oregons sweltering summer.
Chill foods thoroughly in the fridge before packing
with ice. And leave cold dishes in the cooler until its
time to eat. Once served, perishable provisions should
sit out no longer than two hours, or one hour if the
mercury tops 90 degrees.
Favoring foods that hold up to hot weather is another
strategy. Instead of mayonnaise-laden dressings, choose
vinaigrettes or sauces strong on acid, such as lemon
juice. Salsas, jams and honey can stand in for dairybased dips and spreads.
Dont forget enough ice to keep bottles of Southern
Oregon white and rose at their ideal temperatures. Then
sit back, sip and sniff the fragrant vineyard air, perhaps
infused with the strains of live music.
That, says Cates, is Southern Oregon.
Women in Wine
by MJ DASPIT
outhern Oregon defies the notion that the wine industry is a male-dominated
realm. Ever since Sarah Powell started making wine at Foris Winery in 1990,
women have been putting Southern Oregon on the map for wine aficionados
world-wide. The nine women profiled below came to the Southern Oregon wine
industry via widely divergent pathways but they share one key thing: passion for
what they do.
Anne Root
ANNE ROOT, EDENVALE WINERY. Annes interest in wine began in Australia

where she completed post-graduate work for a Masters Degree in Commerce at
the University of Wollongong in 1991. She loved touring Australian wineries and
even wrote a paper about English wines, but never dreamt shed own and operate a
winery herself. That changed with conversion of some of the familys pear orchards
to vineyards, a move that eventually led to the establishment of EdenVale Winery.
Anne has spent nearly twenty years promoting the industry, initially working with
county planners on regulations allowing tasting room activities and special events
on exclusive farm-use land. This winery business is really hard work and complex,
but very rewarding when you get a win, she says. A win can be a wine award or a
guest visiting the tasting room and having a fantastic time.
Nora Lancaster
NORA LANCASTER, KRISELLE CELLARS. Nora started a life-long affair with wine
when her family lived in the south of France. I was enraptured by the beautiful
vineyards and cellars of Provence, she recalls. As a young adult, she worked in
service and management of fine dining houses, honing her palate and knowledge
of wines and furthering the journey towards wine as a career. After a fruitful stint at
Weisinger Family Winery in Ashland, Nora is now Kriselle Cellars' General Manager
and Marketing Director, overseeing the many aspects of a producing winery, very
active tasting room, robust wholesale market, and a community-minded and
industry-involved business. Whats the secret of success? Passion. Tenacity. Genuine
love for Southern Oregon. And a strong affinity for gathering folks.
SUE BRANDBORG, BRANDBORG WINERY. The first red wine Sue ever tasted
was a 1992 Brandborg Pinot Noir. Two years later she met the man who made it at
a wine event in Jackson Hole, Wyoming. Soon the two were making wine together
in rented warehouse space in Richmond, California. Even after they established
their winery in Elkton, Sue and Terry produced their first 6,000 cases entirely by
themselves. Now with production of over 8,000 cases, they have hired help, but
Sue says shes still involved in every phase from crush pad to bottling, marketing
and distribution in eighteen states. What advice would Sue give women thinking
of wine careers? Dont be afraid to jump in and do things. It's grueling, but I love
every step because there's always something to learn.
Sue Brandborg
Naomi Fuerte
8
NAOMI FUERTE, GRIZZLY PEAK WINERY. With a UC Berkeley degree in mass

communications, Naomi came to her familys estate winery to help out with
advertising, social media and the tasting room. At first the tasting room was a
challenge, she says, Because Ive always been shy. But the wine business is a very
public job. It can be unsettling, but people are so interested it becomes more joyful
than fearful. The key is to relax and remain calm even when a busload of tasters
shows up. Take things as they comeprovide a comfortable, enjoyable atmosphere
and people will come back.
LIZ WAN, SERRA VINEYARDS. Liz fell in love with learning about wine at a private
club in Orange County while managing their thousand-label wine list with library
wines from all over the world. With this sommelier experience under her belt and
a stint as Bonny Doon Vineyards' Key Accounts Representative, she moved to
Southern Oregon. So how does our region compare in terms of opportunities for
women in the wine industry? Think about what Ive been able to do here in the
Rogue Valley in less than a decade and the opportunities that have been available
to meyou want to talk about unicorns, I am a nearly 40-year-old Asian female
Assistant Winemaker. I have a seat at the table and I have a chance to be part of the
discussion on every vintage, every lot, every adjustment for every wine that comes
out of this building. This level of inclusion would be difficult if not impossible to
achieve if I were in Napa or Sonoma.
KIM KINDERMAN, AGATE RIDGE VINEYARD. Growing up, Kim watched her
father install reinforcing steel to many wineries in Sonoma County, allowing her
to witness fruition of dreams come true. Vines and wines have always been a part
of her life. She also spent time in Europe where she raised her daughters and fully
embraced the culture and history of wine. Fifteen years ago Kim and her father
started Agate Ridge. The enterprise incorporates three separate businesses, the
vineyard, the winery and the tasting room, distinct challenges for an entirely
family-owned and operated enterprise. Your business is only as good as the
people you hire and surround yourself with. Having a work ethic that matches my
incredible employees helps get the job done day by day. I also think my love of the
land and driving a tractor helps!
Kim Kinderman
LIZA JUSSIAUME, JACKSONVILLE INN. As a student working her way through

college in Charlottesville, Virginia, Liza took a job at Jefferson Vineyards, just
a stones throw from Monticello, home of our third president, a serious wine
aficionado. Pouring at Jefferson, Liza developed a palate, that invaluable asset that
over her seventeen years in the business, has given her the confidence to make the
call: is a wine good or bad. Working with the public has given her the ability to
understand what consumers want. I match my customers with wine. I build their
trust and hope to expand their palates and help them discover what it is they like
so when they go to a wine shop they will be able to pick wines on their own. As a
wine buyer for the Jacksonville Inn Restaurant and Wine Shop, Liza has this advice
for women eyeing a career in wine: Have confidence. Find your voice and own it.
TERRI DELFINO, DELFINO VINEYARDS. Terri says it was divine intervention
that made her leave the Bay Area and relocate to Roseburg with her husband Jim
to plant eighteen acres of vines. Even with her background in marketing, business
management and event planning, she admits there was an element of the romance
of the vineyard that went into the decision. The romance has been tempered by
plenty of agricultural realities such as a freeze that cost 1,200 plants one year. Terris
advice for women considering a wine career: Make sure you have the strength,
both physical and emotional, and a good relationship with your partner. Be willing
to work hard and be good at multi-tasking.
Liza Jussiaume
RENE BRONS, SCHMIDT FAMILY WINERY. Rene was a medical professional,

a phlebotomist, before becoming part of her fathers vineyard and winery. She
recalls, He said I have a full-time job for you. It isnt blood, but its red. With her
son, Rene attended courses in the viticulture and enology program at Umpqua
Community College. Both joined the winemaking team at Schmidt, with Rene
working chiefly in the lab doing chemical analysis of the wines but ultimately
involved in all phases of production. Dad says I have the best nose. And I adore
science, so I love to figure out whats going on if we have a problem. For Rene, one
of the challenges of cellar work is physical. Im a small person, so I cant always do
everything. Good point. Its not all sip and swirl.
These nine are only a few of the women working in wine

throughout our region, all of whom have contributed to the
success it is today. Here at Southern Oregon Wine Scene,
our hats are off to every one of them!

GEOLOGY, SOIL AND THE GRAPES IN YOUR GLASS
hen it comes to distinctive regional wine characteristics

and quality, (what we often refer to as terroir) its hard
to overestimate the influence of soil on grapes grown around
the globe.
Were all familiar with soil, but probably dont give much
thought to where it comes from or how one soil is different
from another. Consider this: if comedy is tragedy plus time, a
formula often repeated since Steve Allen said it in 1957, then
soils are rocks plus time. Soils result from rocks subjected to
interactions of climate, relief, and living organisms over time,
to quote the USDA Natural Resources Conservation Service.
Given all those interactions, soils come in a dizzying array of
colors, textures and agricultural potential.
Every soil tells a story and the best way to understand it is
to take in a talk by Dr. Scott Burns, Portland State University
Professor Emeritus of Geology. Dr. Burns visits Southern
Oregon periodically to speak to wine industry professionals
about the vineyard soils in this area. Below are some key points.
Southern Oregon has some of the oldest rocks in the
stateOur oldest rock mass, the Klamath Range, formed at
the bottom of the ocean about 300 million years ago. Some
165-130 million years ago, this submarine rock mass was
thrust up and joined to the stable North American plate. As a
distinctly-different formation fused to the continental plate,
the Klamath Range is known as a geological terrane. 60-48
million years ago, another terrane was uplifted and fused
to the Oregon coast, creating the Coast Range. Prior to the
accretion of these terranes, lands end was close to the present
Oregon-Idaho border.
Concurrently, (50-6 million years ago) hundreds of volcanoes
of the Cascade Mountains to the east were in a state of
continuous eruption, creating large tracts of volcanic rock such
as basalt formed from iron-rich lava and tuff formed from ash.
Volcanic rocks developed into many types of soil including
sandy loams and clays.
48-34 million years ago, rivers flowing through Southwestern
Oregon eroded much of the volcanic rock as they cut river
beds and dropped sediments that developed into the soils
characteristic of alluvial fans and stream beds. See Oregon: A
Geologic History at http://www.oregongeology.org.
The influence of these parent rocks is evident in our
vineyard soilsLow vigor, well-drained red earth derived
from iron-rich volcanic rocks is so prized by winegrowers that
the Douglas County AVA incorporated Red Hills into its
appellation name. Similarly, HillCrest Vineyard in Southern
Oregons Umpqua Valley, the first Oregon estate winery of
the modern era, established by Richard Sommer in 1961, is
planted on soils that resemble Goldridge Sandy Loam in the
famed Russian River wine growing area of California. Current
owner Dyson DeMara recalls it was this soil that drew him
to HillCrest. Its very deep and the primary horizons are
extremely thick. The color is a deep red. Its the soil that brought
me specifically to this bench top.
And why is low vigor soil good for vineyards? Vines planted
on very fertile soils produce lots of leaves. A dense canopy is
often prone to mildew and pests and needs hands-on labor
(hedging and leaf stripping) or chemical intervention to
produce healthy fruit. Low vigor, relatively infertile soils tend
to support sparser canopies that allow light penetration and
ventilation, inhibiting mildew and other problems.
by MJ DASPIT
Abacelas Fault Line Vineyards, also in the Umpqua Valley,
are sited at the junction of the two geological terranes
mentioned above. See www.abacela.com for a detailed
discussion. Soils of the Coxs Rock Vineyard developed
from rocks as much as 225 million years old, associated
with the Klamath Range. Soils of the immediately-adjacent
Cobblestone Vineyard derive from Coastal Range rock only
about 25 million years old. Because of differences in the
parent rock, there are five distinct soils among Abecelas
vineyard blocks, mostly loams with varying clay, sand or silt
composition, each requiring a different approach to irrigation
and fertility management.
A number of Southern Oregon vineyards are established
on clays derived from volcanic rock. These clays are often
fairly fertile and may expand with water absorption and then
contract and open surface cracks as they dry out. Such sites are
capable of excellent wine grape production, but require more
grower expertise to manage irrigation and vine canopy.
Many vineyards in the Rogue Valley including Del Rio,
Kriselle, Trium, Pebblestone, StoneRiver, and Upper Five
occupy alluvial fans and stream terraces. These sites benefit
from the well-drained sandy loams that developed on old
stream and river beds. River stones known as cobbles retain
heat and hasten the development of new growth in the spring.
Similar alluvial soils are also found on Applegate and Illinois
Valley vineyard sites.
The influence of soil is evident in the taste of wine in the
glassWhile we dont understand the chemistry behind the
effect of soil on the taste of grapes, a terroir tasting comparing
wines of the same year and varietal grown on different soils
clearly demonstrates the defining difference soil can make. Soil
is, after all, the terre in terroir.
The full list of terroir elements impacting wine, according
to Dr. Burns, not only includes geology/soils, but grape stock/
clone, climate, soil hydrology, physiography, winemaking
practices and vineyard management.
So the next time youre pouring a glass of Southern Oregon
wine, remember its not just quality grapes that make it taste
great, but a variety of factors including the very soil in your glass!

A Grape's Journey
BARREL-AGING
by MJ DASPIT

12
he difference in the way white and red grapes are handled in the winery
is probably most dramatically illustrated by the time between harvesting
the fruit and bottling the finished wine. For a white wine like Sauvignon
Blanc or Pinot Gris, the whole process may take only ninety days. A white
varietal that spends time in barrel, such as Chardonnay, may take six months,
still a short time from crush pad to glass as compared to reds.
Red wines typically spend one to two years in barrel, sometimes longer.
After the wine goes through malolactic fermentation*, (the secondary
bacterial fermentation that converts malic acid to lactic acid) the winemaker
will keep it in barrel so the wine will take on the flavor of the wood, typically
a variety of oak. Most barrels, or cooperage, used in winemaking are either
French, American or Hungarian oak. Besides the choice of wood, the
winemaker also has a choice in terms of how deeply the interior of the
barrel is toasted; light, medium or dark. In toasting, the inside of the staves
are exposed to a flame to brown them before barrel assembly is completed.
Generally speaking, light toast imparts mild wood notes with a vanilla
component. Medium toast inflects the wine with heavier wood notes, vanilla
and caramel flavors. Dark toast is suitable for the more robust wines that are
enhanced by smoky and roasted coffee flavors.
Sediments may precipitate out of barreled wines over time. Sometimes,
as with a Chardonnay fermented sur lie, or on the lees, the sediment (grape
particles and dead yeast cells) is stirred back into the wine through a process
known as btonnage. Eventually wines in barrel are drawn off sediments and
transferred to clean cooperage through a process known as racking. Any loss of
wine from the barrel through evaporation or racking is made up by topping off
to minimize air space known as ullage that may result in harmful oxidation.
Most wineries have what is called a barrel program. Because barrels lose
flavor over time, they have a useful life of only five to seven years. As they are
one of the most expensive components of a winery, (a new 59 gallon French
oak barrel costs about $1,000) only a percentage of the winerys cooperage is
replaced in any one year. This means the winemaker must select which wines
to put into new barrels having the strongest flavor and which to put into the
older, neutral ones. Winemakers may elect to use only a percentage of new
oak for a single vintage of a varietal. In this case, the wine aged in new oak
would be blended with that aged in neutral oak before bottling.
So lets talk about blending. Blends may combine different varietals or
different years of a single varietal. The latter is known as a non-vintage blend.
The winemaker blends to create a composite wine that has better balance
than any one of its component wines alone. Blends may be denoted by
generic names such as Claret or they may be labeled with proprietary names
that denote a certain winerys product such as Kriselle Cellars Dtani, a
Bordeaux blend.
Under Oregon Liquor Control Commission rules, a wine is a blend if it
contains less than 75% of a single varietal. A wine that is 75% Viognier and
25% Marsanne can be labeled Viognier, but a wine that is 60% Viognier, 25%
Marsanne and 15% Rousanne would be labeled as a blend. Oregon Pinot
Noir carries more stringent label requirements than other varietals. It must
be 90% Pinot Noir to bear the varietal designation and 95% from a single
Oregon American Viticultural Area (AVA) to carry that area designation.
Thus, a label that reads Southern Oregon Pinot Noir must be 95% Pinot Noir
grown in Southern Oregon.
Before bottling, some wines may undergo additional processes such as
filtering, fining and cold stabilization to enhance clarity.
Filtered wines are pumped through fine gauge mesh to mechanically
remove particles of sediment. Filtering can strip wines and for this reason
is often not a method of choice for varietals like Pinot Noir that need gentle
handling to preserve delicate flavors and viscosity.
In fining, an organic compound such as egg white is added to the wine to cause
sedimentary particles to cling together and fall out of suspension in the wine.
With cold stabilization, wine temperature is held at about 30 degrees for
several days, causing particles of sediment, typically crystals of tannic acid, to
fall out of solution.
The grape, at this point, has finished its metamorphosis into wine, but the
journey isnt quite complete. The next step involves bottling, labeling, storage
and release. Stay tuned.

"W
ine is every bit as important as the food were doing, says executive chef
Damon Jones.
Serving as a narrative of the seasons, Larks menus extol Southern Oregons
agricultural bounty and artisan foods. From citrusy sauvignon blanc to spicy
tempranillo, the regions wines co-author the culinary tale.
We are constantly pairing stuff with wine, says Jones, whose staff devises dishes
for more than 50 events annually that celebrate wine. Winemaker dinners also
enhance the experience at Larks, which opened a decade ago at Ashland Springs
Hotel and expanded to Medford with the Red Lion Hotels 2013 reinvention by
Neuman Hotel Group as Inn at the Commons.
They werent carbon copies, says Jones of the two restaurants, where diners can
taste distinctly-different recipes while relishing a few mainstays, such as roasted
beet salad and fried chicken breast. The Larks wine lists arent mirror images, either,
although Oregon labels dominate both.
I think its incredible the number of wineries that have come about, says Jones.
Weve always made a really giant effort to promote Oregon and local wines.
by SARAH LEMON
Prominently promoted on Larks lists are Daisy Creek Vineyard, Folin Cellars,
Kriselle Cellars, Ledger David Cellars and Upper Five Vineyardall, of the Rogue
Valley. The Applegates Slagle Creek Vineyards and Valley View Winery supply
syrah for the Ashland restaurant, and the Umpquas Brandborg and Abacela
wineries contribute lighter pinot noir and tempranillo.
These and other wineries complement dozens of local farms, ranches and
purveyors who figure into Larks farm-to-table philosophy.
I think of those wineries as farms, as well, says Ava DeRosier, Director of Food
and Beverage for Neuman Hotel Group.
Our whole concept is about sustainability, says Jones. Its really beyond organic.
A celebration of traditional, hand-crafted food, Larks farm plate comprises
house-made charcuterie and condiments, along with cheeses from Jacksonvilles
By George Farm. As a starter or light meal, the platter suits the full spectrum of
Southern Oregon varietals, says Jones.
It works for people who are drinking different types of wine.
Summer is when Chef Jones, an Alabama native, personally passes-up Bourbon

for white wines, which pair well with fried green tomatoes battered in corn flour
from Medfords Dunbar Farms. Among Jones other comfort-food classics, hearty
meatloaf and silken mashed potatoes is a natural with Daisy Creeks Lyon Red.
The syrah-merlot blend also echoes richly-flavored lamb shanks. Demi-glace

drizzled on this dish occasionally incorporates local wines, as do Larks desserts.
Adapting a recipe to a specific vintage, then serving it alongside the wine, says
Jones, can play-up the nuances of each.
Its those nuances of Southern Oregon viticulture and terroir that speak volumes
of Larks wine service, boasting bottles from 20 of the regions wineries in just as
many grape varieties.
People are definitely becoming more aware of the quality of local wine, says Jones.

ELIANA WINES is the label of Brian and

Carien Jordaan. Brian, a one-time commercial
grower of roses, adapted his soft-handed
horticultural technique to production of the
wine grapes that go into Eliana vintages. Since
2008, Brian and his family have tended Belle
Vista Vineyard, a stunning hillside site in the
Pompadour Bluff area east of Ashland planted to
Merlot, Cabernet Franc and Cabernet Sauvignon.
The vines, now nearly twenty years-old, have
yielded exquisite fruit under Jordaans care.
Made in very limited lots by winemaker Steve
Anderson, Eliana vintages reflect a unique
terroir and Jordaans exacting specifications.
Since 2011, Jordaan has added Tempranillo
to his wine list of exquisite Bordeaux varietals
and blends. From Thistlecroft Vineyard, a close
neighbor to Belle Vista, the Tempranillo is a
lush mlange of aromas and flavors featuring
ripe strawberry and dark cherry notes.
The best way to try Eliana is to stop by the tasting
room. Brian and Carien love sharing their elegant
wines with visitors. Open March-October, the
intimate indoor wine bar offers cozy warmth
while the outdoor seating offers incomparable
vistas of the vineyard with the Siskiyou
Mountains and Pilot Rock in the distance.

Wine Enthusiasts Paul Gregutt lists two Ledger

David wines among his latest Editors Choice
picks: 2014 Sauvignon Blanc (92 points),
calling it aromatic and compelling . . . fresh
and full of delicious fruit, and 2013 Primoris
Chenin Blanc (91 points) about which he
writes, Chenin Blanc is quite rare in Oregon,
and this wine, from vines planted just five years
previously, may inspire others to follow suit...
The balance and length are just right and the
varietal character is in evidence throughout.
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.
With so many stellar selections on its list, its

JAXON VINEYARDS embodies the very

conditions for its Rhone and Spanish
varietals, quintessential vineyard scenery and
everything for the visitor, from fabulous wine
to horseshoes and bocce ball. The combination
reflects the ambition and hard work of Jamie
and Katherine McCleary who bought the
property as a former pear orchard in 2008 and
turned it into the vineyard behind a label that
has consistently won critical acclaim since its
inaugural 2011 vintage.
To bring out the unique terroir of their Fern
Valley fruit, the McClearys chose Rob Folin of
Folin Cellars to craft their wines. Folins awardwinning style has garnered JAXON multiple 90+
ratings and too many gold medals to list here.

Jamie McCleary says, is hard to describe
in words other than Wow! Visitors are
encouraged to roam the vineyard, garden and
orchard or simply sit and admire the scenic
beauty while enjoying a gourmet small plate
and a flight. Either way, once you get to Jaxon
Vineyards, you wont want to leave.

ROXYANN WINERY
ROXYANN WINERY was originally the pear

growing and packing operation known as
Hillcrest Orchard. But Jack Day, grandson of the
Seattle businessman who became owner and
manager of Hillcrest in 1908, had other ideas. Day
planted wine grapes on 20 acres of the southfacing slope of RoxyAnn Peak where shallow clay
soils are perfect for Bordeaux varietals. With the
first harvest in 2001, RoxyAnn Winery was born.

PASCHAL WINERY & VINEYARD
TRIUM is a Latin term meaning of the three,

an expression of the early collaboration of three
vineyard owners to produce classically-styled,
vineyard-focused wine. That label, with its
reproduction of a sixteenth-century woodcut
depicting a vineyard worker, also means
something very specific to the brand. For Laura,
Kurt and Dustin Lotspeich, founders and
current owners of TRIUM, it speaks to the fact
that hard work in the vineyard pays off in the
glass. The Lotspeichs have produced premium
Pinot Gris, Viognier, Merlot, Cabernet
Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, Tempranillo,
Grenache and Zinfandel from their 17-acre
Pheasant Vineyard since 1990. Each year since
2003, they have selected part of their harvest
for TRIUM, a boutique label with no more than
one thousand cases per year. TRIUMs flagship
wine is Gowers Cuve, a proprietary Bordeaux
blend that has regularly garnered awards since
its first bottling won the platinum medal and
best of show at the 2005 Greatest of the Grape
competition. Its hardly surprising that Laura
Lotspeich is equally at home driving a tractor
to haul harvest bins or describing the palate
notes of a vintage to visitors in the estate tasting
room, a pleasant nook perched at the top of the
hill overlooking the vines.

Why unexpected? The location for a start. Fred

and Candy LaBrasseur planted their 15-acre
vineyard on a beautiful hillside at 2,200 feet,
one of the highest elevations for winegrowing
in the Rogue Valley. The elevation provides
sunshine in foggy seasons and coolness
when the valley is hot. And those conditions
make for happy wine grapes. LaBrasseur has
produced award-winning estate vintages
medaling in diverse competitions including
the Finger Lakes International Wine
Competition, Newport Seafood & Wine
Festival, San Francisco Chronicle Wine
Competition and Oregon Wine Experience.
Unassuming describes the friendly
atmosphere of this completely family-owned
and operated winery and tasting room. The
emphasis on informality makes visitors feel like
part of the familyexcept they arent expected
to labor in the vineyard. So bring a picnic to
enjoy with a glass of wine on the crush pad or
on the lawn and just relax.
One visit will show you why the combination
of what the family puts into the wines and the
atmosphere they have created for sharing them,
makes LaBrasseur Vineyard unforgettable.

FOLIN CELLARS is just a mile as the crow

flies from the Wild and Scenic Rogue River
and en route to Crater Lake, in Sams Valley.
Built in 2009, this off-the-beaten-path gem
is well worth the drive. Embracing Southern
Oregons natural beauty, the winery features
expansive views of the surrounding vineyards,
a newly-built bocce ball court, patio seating
and standout Estate wines.
DEL RIO VINEYARDS is both a place deeply

rooted in history and a winery reflecting the
latest in viticulture and enology. The tasting
room was built in 1864 and served for many
years as the Rock Point Stage Hotel. The parcel
of land that comprises one of the largest winegrowing operations in the Rogue Valley was a
payment to the original owner for his service
in the Rogue Indian Wars. The big red building
displaying the Del Rio name, that today houses
the winery, began as the fruit packinghouse of
Del Rio Orchards.
Similarly, Del Rios estate Cabernet Sauvignon,
Chardonnay, Malbec, Merlot, Muscat, Pinot
Gris, Pinot Noir, Syrah, and Viognier reflect
the time-honored traditions of Old World
winemaking blended with New World innovation
by winemaker Jean-Michel Jussiaume.
Del Rio's Summer Concert Series is now in
full-swing through September! Friday nights
can't get any better with local tunes, beautiful
views and fantastic wines. On July 30, celebrate
Del Rio's best-kept secret...our second label,
Rock Point. The" Rock Point Wines Affair" is
a great opportunity to taste new wines and relax
in our gorgeous park at the heart of Del Rio
Vineyards. On August 13, join us for a popular
event, "Dinner Under the Stars," an outside
winemaker's dinner catered by the Jacksonville
Inn overlooking the vineyard skyline. For the
beer lover, "Barrel to Glass" on August 27th
pairs beer and wine with appetizers and a fresh,
family-style meal. In September, experience
the picturesque vineyard first-hand every
Wednesday and Sunday on guided vineyard
hikes as you taste the grapes, take photos and
get a little exercise!
Folin Cellars vintages bear the distinctive

stamp of winemaker Rob Folin. Folin has
consistently produced highly-respected wines
with depth, character and elegance from his
familys winery since 2005.

closure, each wine poured expresses precisely
the flavors the winemaker intended. Hence the
slogan on the label: No Corks, No Worries.
There are no shortcuts to making good wine
and I wont release a wine thats not up to my
standards, Rob says. If my familys name goes
on the bottle, you know that Im 100 percent
proud of whats inside.

CAPRICE VINEYARDS and Alpaca Farm

became home to Jim and Jeanne Davidian and
their alpacas in 2004 when they moved their
Riverside, California ranching operation to
a property outside Jacksonville that included
a 7-acre vineyard. The Davidians decided to
make wine and established the Caprice label
with a 2006 bottling of Cabernet Sauvignon.
Over the years, Caprice wines have expanded to
include Chardonnay, Viognier, Gewurztraminer
and Claret along with Cabernet Sauvignon, all
made in small quantities, with special attention
to the character of estate-fruit produced by
vines nearly thirty years-old.

DAISY CREEK VINEYARD owners Russ and

Margaret Lyon came to Jacksonville in 1994
looking for a place similar to the Northern
Rhone Valleys famous Cte Rotie (roasted
slope), the perfect place to grow Syrah and
Viognier. On a 23-acre tract where fortuneseekers once panned Daisy Creek for gold, the
Lyons planted a couple of acres of vines. Due
in large part to the mineral-laden soils washed
down from the Siskiyou Mountains by the
creek, and in larger part to the hard work of the
couple tending the vines, the fruit they grew
turned out to be goodreally good.

Quady North is the name of Herb Quadys

Applegate Valley wine venture, a scion of his
parents Fresno area Quady Winery. While the
senior Quady is a producer of renowned sweet
and aperitif wines, Quady North is known for big,
bold Bordeaux and Rhone varietals. After working
as Assistant Winemaker at the California Central
Coast Bonny Doon Vineyard, Quady came to
Oregon to found his own brand, convinced that
the truly-compelling wines were being made from
grapes grown in cooler areas. In 2005 the family
selected 100 acres of south-facing hillside in the
Applegate Valley and planted their first 15 acres of
Syrah, Cabernet Franc and Viognier. Today there
are eight vineyards, with two in the Rogue Valley,
and the list of varietals has expanded to include
Grenache, Marsanne, Rousanne, and Merlot.
Quady North is committed to producing small lot,
minimally-handled wines sourced primarily from
the estate. The focus remains premium Viognier,
Cabernet Franc and Syrah, what Herb Quady calls
his love triangle.

DEVITT WINERY
LONGSWORD VINEYARD
DEVITT WINERY began as the logical answer

to a sticky problem. In 2003, Jim Devitt had
harvested a bumper crop of grapes from his
vineyard; the only fly in the ointment was there
was no home for his grapes. Having owned and
operated Pope Valley Winery in the Napa Valley
during the 1970s and '80s, the solution was to go
back into the wine business. So Devitt Winery in
the Applegate Valley was born.
LONGSWORD VINEYARD offers an idyllic

Southern Oregon wine-tasting experience
and prides itself on creating unique, complex,
and enjoyable wines served in a fun, relaxing
atmosphere that truly captures what the
Southern Oregon wine scene is all about.
Family-owned, operated, and farmed, every
LongSword Vineyard wine has been lovingly
tended to from vine to bottle.
Today the vineyard that originally consisted of

Merlot, Cabernet Franc, and Cabernet Sauvignon
has flourished to further include, Pinot Noir,
Tempranillo, Syrah, and Viognier.
Nestled in the heart of the Applegate Valley,

LongSword Vineyards tasting room and
patio feature stunning panoramic views of
the Cascade, Siskiyou, and Coastal mountain
ranges. During the summer months, the
incredible vistas are often dotted with the
colorful wings of paragliders and hangliders
who land in front of the tasting room and patio.

With the addition of grandson Brendon Butler

to the winemaking team, a new generation
has joined the family winery, ensuring the
continuation of quality winemaking.

What visitors will find at Devitt Winery is no

pretension, no frills, but a fine wine experience
that harkens back to the days of the small wine
producers. For the Devitts its about growing
exceptional fruit and making extraordinary wine
and having a sense of humor in the bargain. So
dont be surprised that the wine list includes
a Rosato called, The Butler Did It, a dessert
wine dubbed, When Pigs Fly, Le Petit Oink or
in tribute to a deceased pet, Aggie Dog Red.
Despite names that are occasionally silly, the
Devitt standard for wine of exceptional quality is
quite seriousbut also fun.

VALLEY VIEW WINERY
RED LILY VINEYARDS
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
and Ann Wisnovsky, Valley View was bonded in
1978. Using fruit from his Applegate Valley estate,
planted in 1972, Wisnovsky made Bordeaux
varietals up until his death in 1980 when Valley
View operations were passed on to Ann and sons.
RED LILY VINEYARDS is a boutique, familyowned winery in the beautiful Applegate Valley,
specializing in classic Spanish wines, including
Tempranillo and Verdejo. Red Lily is named for
Bolanders Lily, a rare species of red lily growing
in the nearby Siskiyou Mountains, and for the
owners daughter, Lily.
Red Lilys winery and tasting room are located
in an idyllic setting on the banks of the
Applegate River with an amazing riverside
beach, the site of their popular summer concert
series featuring rising local musical artists.
Concerts are held every Thursday from 6-8pm

SCHULTZ WINES is the label associated

with Glory Oaks Vineyard and Farm, a new
venue in the Applegate Valley. Glory Oaks
is a long way from Baton Rouge, Louisiana
where owners Greg and Debbie Schultz took
their first steps toward becoming viticulturists.
Their journey began with a few classes on wine
at Louisiana State University that sparked a
tasting trip to Southern Oregon. It was love at
first sight. Greg and Debbie stayed in Ashland
for five months in 2010, volunteering as cellar
hands at Weisinger Family Winery. Once they
met Linda Donovan of Pallet Wine Company
and discovered the custom crush option for
launching a label, Schultz Wines was born.

year Greg and Debbie moved to Oregon. Not
long after, hiking the Enchanted Forest Trail,
they found a for sale sign on the property that
would become Glory Oaks. Tempranillo and
Malbec are now planted and the existing ranch
house has recently been converted to a tasting
room offering stunning views of the vineyard
and valley. The tasting room offers Pinot Noir,

WOOLDRIDGE CREEK WINERY &

CRUSHPAD CREAMERY is home to a winery,
vineyard and a creamery. And, its a story about
a place, a partnership and a plan. The place is a
hillside vineyard 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
vineyard became Wooldridge Creek Vineyard
and Winery.

Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Cabernet Franc,
Syrah, Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, Viognier,
Gewurztraminer, Zinfandel, Malbec, Riesling and
