Fifty/Fifty

In 2021, two of the Willamette Valley’s original wineries Adelsheim Vineyard in Newberg and Sokol Blosser Winery in Dayton are commemorating their golden anniversaries. Their influential leaders share some reflections on their past, talk about what they’re doing in the present and provide a glimpse into the future and, if the Oregon industry is so fortunate, the next 50.
David Adelsheim was in the Army during the Vietnam War; however, he was stationed 2000 miles away in Korea. There received his first serious introduction to the genteel subject of wine. “I had a captain who was from Puerto Rico who really knew wine,” he said. “We didn’t taste wine a lot, but from time to time, he would find a bottle, and he would talk about it in a much more serious way than I was used to hearing about wine.”

Hydro Hogs These people waste so much water, it s scary. Benjamin Franklin once wrote, When the well is dry, we know the worth of water. In Portland, whose water glass always seems to be full, the abundance is both a blessing and a curse. Nestled between two rivers, doused by 37 inches of rain in an average year and fed by Bull Run Reservoir, the state s largest source of drinking water, Portland boasts more than enough H2O to meet our needs.
