Today we celebrate the one year anniversary of The Southern Oregon Wine Blog!
And what an eventful year it was! We had...
- Emergence of new wineries and a custom-crush facility
- Pioneering of new varietals
- Our wines took home awards at dozens of competitions and events
- Many wineries created sustainability programs like Troon Vineyard's bottle-your-own program, Abacela pledging Carbon Neutrality, and Cowhorn Vineyard enacting The Rinse Project
- Abacela was named one of the "Hot Small Brands of America" by Wine Business Monthly
- Farm-to-Fork married local food producers with local wines in their popular dinner series
- Foostone Jive Winery sparked numerous controversies
- The Southern Oregon Wine Institute at Umpqua Community College received large donations to expand their facilities and programs
- The Oregon Wine Board named Jeanette Morgan as the new director
All that (and more) in one year?! I can't wait to see what next year brings...
