What do you do when you find a huge
heart shaped boulder on property being readied for planting?
The answer is tricky. But Coeur de
Terre owner Scott Neal figured out what to do. Perfectly! Coeur de
Terre is in Oregon’s Willamette Valley, where Pinot Noir rules. We
met with Scott during day of the Pinot Noir Auction at the Allison
Inn & Spa. There was a huge buzz previous to the auction and in
the end, the association brought in over one million dollars. Not a
bad day’s work, right?
You can hear Scott on our Vino Lingo
segment defining the wine term “Muscular”.

Listen to Scott Neal, co-owner and winemaker at Coeur de Terra Vineyard in the Willamette Valley, Oregon give us his definition of the wine word “Muscular”.
We truly believe a sense of humor keeps a winemaker going. Tom Mortimer made me laugh at every turn. Tom is proprietor of Le Cadeau Vineyard in the Chehalem Mountains AVA of Oregon and considering how hard he has worked to grow grapes while keeping the birds away from the vineyard, among other threats, his humor is intact. We won’t even talk about the racoons. But he takes his wine seriously. We met with Tom at the Le Cadeau tasting room, an elegantly appointed space featuring fine wine tastings and even some rocks.
