Im jamie colby, and today im traveling through the Willamette Valley of oregon wine country. In fact, this area is home to around 400 wineries.

The story of how pascal became the worlds youngest owner of a winery begins with his father, jimi brooks. Janie heuck is pascals aunt. She and pascals dad, ji
