Introduction Hi. I'm an Oregon winemaker of 15 years. I am currently on a multi-country traveling/winemaking odyssey to discover more about the vast subject of wine, wine production and anything else I might stumble across. Since leaving Southern Oregon in February 2007, I traveled to and worked in Marlborough, New Zealand, the Alexander Valley of California and the Margaret River region of Western Australia. The Fall of 2008 surprisingly took me back to Southern Oregon to reconnect with the region I am from, working as a consulting winemaker and, as always, learning more about my passion for wine. 2009 has found me traveling back to New Zealand to explore more the world of Pinot Noir. In the fall of 2009 I will once again be consulting in Oregon.
Interests Winemaking, travel, writing, food and, of course, vino.
Favorite Movies Always a tough question. Love a good documentary.
Favorite Music An even tougher question. Salmonella Dub, Charlie Hunter, John Butler, Gotan Project, Bobby Previte, Kora, anything by Bob and everything played with soul.
Favorite Books The toughest question of all. Currently reading "Walden", by Thoreau.
