Brandborg Vineyard & Winery 2015 Pinot Gris, which Vidalo describes as amazing.
Ive never had anything from Brandborg that wasnt stellar.
With hints of stone fruit, the dry white produced in Elkton enhances Lofts

have no better accompaniment than a glass of local sauvignon blanc from Kriselle
Cellars or Simple Machine, she says. And the latters fantastic grenache, a beloved
French varietal, is light enough to pair with the classic Provencal seafood stew,

Although she learned about wine while managing Lelas list, Vidalo says she was

ROXYANN WINERY
ROGUE VALLEY
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 south-facing slope of RoxyAnn Peak where
shallow clay soils are perfect for Bordeaux
varietals. 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, Pinot Gris,
Sauvignon Blanc, Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon,
Cabernet Franc, Tempranillo, Viognier, Syrah,

tranquility and hospitality. As you enter the estate and drive alongside the vines Realtors
with views of the majestic hillsides, you can't help but transition to a place where
the pace slows down a bit. Soon, the elegant piazza is in view where you practice
the art of yoga, followed by a sampling of wines, which were grown and naturally
made just steps away, accompanied by a locally-inspired culinary bite, as you drink
in the views and ambiance!
Although yoga retreats arent new to the valley, hosting them at wineries is a
somewhat new idea. Prior to closing their tasting room this year, Trium Winery
in Talent was one of the very first to offer on-site yoga classes. For Ashland-area
yoga enthusiasts, Belle Fiore Winery has planned yoga events this fall and is hoping
they become regular monthly events as is the case at DANCIN. Also new this fall,
Grable will be hosting one-day mindfulness yoga retreats at EdenVale Winery
starting in late September.
With options for single sessions or full-day retreats, and beginner to expert
level yoga, Southern Oregon offers it all. Grable says, I love that yoga at wineries
attracts a blend of seasoned yoga practitioners along with students who have
never practiced. Some regularly attend monthly sessions while others come as an
occasional treat. In the past, there have been couples that meet their friends at the
events, women who come from nearby towns for a day out with friends, and even
parents who bring their teenagers, who enjoy a non-alcoholic beverage!
Having completed her yoga class at DANCIN, Townsley sips her wine and reflects,
Practicing yoga together with others provides a sense of community, connection
and play. That fun, communal spirit just naturally carries over when sitting down
together for a wine tasting. The whole experience becomes a social event full of good
conversation with old and new friends in the most perfect spot imaginable!

Noir and Chardonnay. Most recently, Vince was the Associate Winemaker at critically acclaimed Domaine
Serene Winery in the Willamette Valley, Oregon. Im delighted we were able to add someone with Vinces
Irvine & Roberts Winemaker Vince Vidrine range of winemaking experience to our team, said Irvine and Roberts Managing Director, Michael Donovan,
adding that, The appointment was the culmination of a five-month search which screened candidates from
around the world to find the best person who shared our deep passion for making world-class Pinot Noir
and Chardonnay. Vidrines educational background includes earning a degree from Oregon State University,
where he was the first student to graduate from OSU with a degree in Enology and Viticulture. He joined the
team just in time for the opening of the new tasting room and winery in July.
Ashley Campanellas Pear Cider Wins Gold

EdenVale Winery winemaker Ashley Campanella scored big with her new line of pear ciders at the
recent Portland International Cider Cup, held in June. She took home a gold medal for her Eden Valley
Orchard Pear House Cider, one of only eight gold medals awarded from over 165 entrants from the
EdenVale Winemaker Ashley Campanella Pacific Northwest and British Columbia. What makes the award even more remarkable is that this was her
first vintage! All fruit was sourced from the orchards at the historic Voorhies Mansion site, enabling her
to utilize her on-site winemaking facilities and further utilize the farmland. In addition to the Portland
victory, her pear cider also received a Silver medal at the Great Lakes International Cider and Perry
Competition, where more than 1200 ciders were submitted from around the world.
Greg Jones Leaves SOU for Linfield College

After 20 years at Southern Oregon University, Professor Greg Jones is the new director of Linfield Colleges wine
education program. Wine Business Monthly named Jones a Top 50 Wine Industry Leaders for his work as one of
the wine worlds leading climate researchers. Linfield offers an interdisciplinary liberal arts degree in wine studies
and is working toward a wine and sustainable systems major. Jones took over August 15, replacing founding
Greg Jones director Ellen Brittan who returned to Brittan Vineyards to work alongside her winemaking husband. Jones is
considered the ideal choice for the post and one of the most highly respected scientists in the field today. Jones,
who shares his latest research with winemakers, growers and fellow scientists from around the world, has vast
knowledge of wine, science, government regulations and bureaucracy. Although industry insiders say its a loss
for Southern Oregon, having Greg in-state is the next best scenario.
South Stage Cellars Introduces Online Ordering

South Stage Cellars, located in downtown Jacksonville, is making it easier for guests to pre-order food,
wine and even reserve a table. Now, advance reservations and orders may be placed via a link on their
website (southstagecellars.com). Using the Dinner & Appetizer Reservations link will enable patrons to
pre-pay, and even leave a gratuity, all in-advance. The new program was introduced in July, according to
South Stage Cellars Tasting Room Porscha Schiller, Tasting Room and Events Coordinator. Each week, the popular wine tasting room offers
an array of events, from musicians to art shows to educational events. Schiller notes that, Our mission is
to do everything possible to provide our guests with the best experience and customer service possible.
Trium Tasting Room Closes

After 30 years, Laura Lotspeich, the owner of Trium Wines, a well-respected wine brand, decided to retire
and leave her children to take over the vineyard operations. The tasting room on Rapp Road in Talent has
closed, providing time for her to travel and spend more time enjoying life. The family-owned Pheasant Hill
Vineyard will continue selling fruit to top wineries and to be owned and operated by the next generation
under the direction of her youngest son, Dustin Lotspeich. After her husband, Kurt, passed away, Laura
noted, Without his partnership, the winery has lost some of the allurethis industry requires a passion
Trium Wines Owner Laura Lotspeich for and an obsession with quality and unrelenting care. It is time for me to pass the torch on and enjoy the
results of our years of following that obsession.
Simple Machine Opens Tasting Room

Well-known winemaker Brian Denner and his life/business partner Clea Arthur have opened a new tasting
room to showcase their brand, Simple Machine in Talent at 717 S. Pacific Highway. Since moving to the
Rogue Valley in 2010, Denner has worked for Pallet Wine, Agate Ridge Winery and DANCIN Vineyards.
With a background in business and banking, Clea Arthur will oversee the new tasting room operations
as well as the relocation of the Simple Machine winemaking facilities to the Talent site. Open noon-6pm,
Wednesday through Sunday, the new tasting room is bright and airy with high ceilings and polished
concrete floors. Denner will continue producing small lots of syrah, grenache, pinot noir, viognier and
Simple Machine Tasting Room sauvignon blanc, with all fruit sourced from the Applegate and Rogue Valleys.
