Brooks Winemaker Chris Williams carries on the mission of late owner Jimi Brooks by making a wide variety of fine wines in the Willamette Valley. Oregon is known for great wines and Chris loves the opportunity to experiment whenever possible. Brooks makes exceptional Pinot Noir as well as Reisling, Gewurztraminer, Viognier, Sparkling Riesling to name only a few. We spoke with Managing Director Janie Brooks Heuck back in 2013 (Podcast #82) but this time we met with Chris in person, at the winery for the first time.

Welcome to this special podcast! As some of you might know, I released a book aptly titled, “Vino Lingo”, wine words defined by the winemakers themselves. The book contained original photos of each of these winemakers in the spirit of the Vino Lingo words. The following audio stands as my ‘audio book’ of the project featuring the voices of each of the winemakers. This is part two. Its fun. Maybe silly. But definitely educational. Please enjoy. And watch for my next book, Vino Lingo Part Two.
