ABOUT THE WINERIES:
Michael Garofola began Cutter Cascadia while working at Beast in 2017. He makes wines in single vineyard expressions that often run counter to the preconceived notions of any given varietal he works with.
Dacha Wines come from four small vineyards, farmed organically and spanning more than 100 miles from Yoncalla to Aurora. They are made with a lot of care and a little bit of sulfur.
Junichi Fujita is a farmer winemaker producing handcrafted, small-production wines in the hills west of McMinnville, Oregon. Living at his hillside Juna vineyard, Junichi farms and vinifies his grapes while also producing wines from organically farmed grapes he sources. His additive-free natural winemaking is guided by his experience working with mentors such as Pierre Overnoy, Jean-Louis Dutraive, Stanko Radikon, and Jacques Lardière
Perkins-Harter - I produce wines from Bracken Vineyard, the place where I live and call home on a western-facing benchland in the Eola-Amity Hills. As a winegrower, I practice organic and biodynamic methods, and as a winemaker I seek low-interventionist means and transparency of site. Together, my farming and winemaking are a means to explore my site and express its terroir and the profound influence of wind along the Eola Bench.
monument is an effort to put out thoughtful, sincere, playful wines from a handful of vineyards across oregon; tension, counterpoint, and deliciousness is the goal.
Vincent Fritzsche started Vincent Wine Company in 2009 and makes Pinot Noir, Chardonnay, Pinot Blanc and more at his small farm outside of Amity with two colleagues. Farming is all non irrigation and sustainable if not organic, wines fermented naturally with just sulfur used judiciously.
