A Winemakers journey can be almost as
complex as the wine he or she makes. The road is long and can
include travels around the world or their own back yard…but mostly
around the world. Ian Burch is, as of this writing, in the middle of
his second harvest at Archery Summit Winery in the Willamette Valley
but he has travelled that long road and still has many vintages ahead
of him. We recorded this interview in the Archery Summit caves
during a busy day at the winery so your likely to hear the voices of
wine lovers exploring. Ian was great fun to talk to and his
enthusiasm for life is contagious.

We visited Oregon for the second time this year just a couple weeks ago. The weather could not have been better and the wineries stand with the best in the country. We interviewed Raptor Ridge Winery owners Scott and Annie Shull whom we met back in April at the Willamette Valley Pinot Noir Auction. These folks take their wine seriously but will crack you up at every chance. It was good to be back in Oregon…listen why.

Wineries all over the world have many
things in common but the most important is growing the very best
grapes possible. Pinot Noir is the grape that seems to provide the
greatest challenge but Willamette Valley winemakers make it look
easy. Steve Lutz is the owner and winemaker at Lenné Estate in
Yamhill, Oregon. Steve spent some time with us at his cozy tasting
room which is surrounded by vineyards and makes you feel as if you
are floating in a sea of grapes.
