The label from the very first rosé wine I made, with friend David Jordan, at Oregon State University.

The grapes came from various vines in OSU's grape variety mother block, hence the "mélange" in the name. The "Sä-môn" was a reference to its orange colour...

The label from the very first wine I made, with friend David Jordan, at Oregon State University. Dave was studying for his PhD and I for my MS at the time. My very talented friend Catherine Hibbitt drew the label, which I went on to use for future vintages.

The grapes came from a research block and was fermented in glass carboys.

Great memories, and the wine was well regarded by all accounts...

If you missed my conversation yesterday with Morgen McLaughlin of #WillametteValleyWineryAssociation, it was great. We discussed how her roots on her family’s Connecticut winery (one of the state’s first) convinced her of the importance of communal marketing, the different challenges of representing regions with diversity vs those with focus, and the exciting announcement from
#Revino about #OregonWine's new reusable bottle. It's on the #TablasCreek IG feed and also at https://vimeo.com/866867369
