Myron Redford’s storied 47-year wine career officially ended with a simple statement: “We sold our vineyard.”
Redford recently announced the sale of 10 acres of the Redford Wetle Farms property he owns with his wife and partner Vikki Wetle. The deal with Michael Baryla of Livermore, California, includes a 7.3 acre organically certified vineyard planted by Redford and Wetle in 2006. The vineyard property on S.E. Eola Hills Road was listed at $549,000 by Oregon Vineyard Property in Dundee.
Redford founded Amity Vineyards by purchasing an existing pinot noir and riesling vineyard near Amity in 1974. He was joined by Wetle in 1980.
