On October 18th, from 12-5 you can meet veteran winemaker James Cahill! In the mid-nineties, Cahill scored a harvest position in the Willamette Valley at Beaux Frères, and in time graduated to assistant winemaker. From there he briefly worked at Elk Cove and, in 2002, he joined Soter Vineyards. Soter Vineyards is the culmination of Tony Soter's life-long study in viticulture and winegrowing. Meticulous, hands-on attention to farming practices throughout the growing season from flowering through harvest, and minimal handling in the winery, assures a resulting level of quality normally associated exclusively with estate grown wines . Don't miss the opportunity to sample some amazing wines and talk with James!
