If you love Oregon wines and biodynamic wines, we have a treat for you! And, if you think you know Oregon wines, this episode is a must listen. Did you know that there are two major wine growing regions in Oregon? It's true! Most people think about the Willamette Valley, which is where our guest Morgan Beck is making beautiful Burgundy style wines for Johan Vineyards. But we bet you don't know that in Southern Oregon, where the climate and soils are much different, there are people like our other guest Vince Vidrine making beautiful Rhône Valley style wines, like GSM and Viognier, and Vince makes these wines for Cowhorn Vineyard and Garden. Both of these winemakers are focusing on biodynamic wines - which in essence means they let the grapes and the juice and the specific weather and growing conditions each year tell them how the wines should be made each year. And it also means that they try and do less in the cellar and be more proactive in the vineyard. This was an amazing conversation, and if you want to learn more about wine, you would be hard pressed to find two better teachers than Morgan and Vince!Send us a Text Message and we'll respond in our next episode!Contact The Wine Pair Podcast - we'd love to hear from you!Visit our website, leave a review, and reach out to us: https://thewinepairpodcast.com/Follow and DM us on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/thewinepairpodcast/Send us an email: joe@thewinepairpodcast.com

In this episode of the Weinnotes Podcast, I sit down with Boyd Teegarden, the visionary winemaker behind Natalie's Estate in Oregon's renowned Willamette Valley. Boyd's journey into the world of wine is a unique one, rooted in hard work, dedication, and a passion for storytelling through each bottle. Starting his career in the corporate wine world with Gallo, Boyd's path eventually led him to Oregon, where he and his wife Cassandra purchased their dream property and started building the now-beloved Natalie's Estate in 1999. The vineyard, once a walnut and turkey farm, sits on a warm, south-facing site with rich history and has become a beacon of expressive, handcrafted wines.Throughout our conversation, Boyd shares his deep connection to the land, the influences of old-world winemaking, and the importance of creating wines with minimal intervention. He explains how each wine is a snapshot of a vintage and a reflection of the unique vineyard site. At Natalie's Estate, Boyd's philosophy is simple: make the wine in the vineyard, allowing the true essence of the fruit to shine. The result is a portfolio that spans from elegant Pinot Noirs to robust wines like Zinfandel and Barbera, each telling a story of the vineyard's diverse terroir and Oregon's ever-changing seasons.We explore Boyd's experience growing up on a soybean farm in Missouri, where he first cultivated his love for agriculture, and how he made a full-circle return to farming in wine country. He also reflects on the challenges and triumphs of starting a winery in a region that was just beginning to get recognized in the world of fine wine.But Boyd isn't just about the wine – he's a storyteller, a mentor, and someone deeply invested in the community. He emphasizes the importance of pairing wine with food, a lesson he learned during his time spent traveling through Europe. His approach to wine tastings always incorporates food, bringing people closer to the cultural roots of wine and showing how the perfect pairing can transform both the dish and the wine. Boyd also shares stories about his time working with legendary winemakers, his love for the outdoors, and his ongoing projects in Montana where he supports river restoration initiatives.For Boyd, Natalie's Estate isn't just a winery—it's a family endeavor. He talks about raising his daughter in this environment and how each member of the family plays a role in the business. Boyd also reflects on the future of Oregon wine and how the region has grown exponentially since he first planted his roots. From sustainable farming practices to experimenting with different grape varieties, Boyd continues to push the boundaries of what's possible in the Willamette Valley.As always, I wrap up the episode with a blind tasting, and this time Boyd is joined by his assistant winemaker Jeff Granger. Together, they give their thoughts on the wine in the glass, demonstrating their shared love for discovering new flavors and textures. Whether you're a wine novice or an enthusiast, this episode offers something for everyone—insight into the craft of winemaking, the joy of great pairings, and a reminder that, sometimes, the best journeys come from simply following your passion.

Maybe we're just crazy, but we have to believe that you can find a high quality Pinot Noir for a reasonable price. Believe us when we say - it's not easy! In our third foray into trying to find high QPR Pinot Noirs, we try once again to help you find a wine you'll like that won't bust your wallet. We also talk about how Pinot Noirs from Burgundy are different from those found in the United States and other New World, warmer climate regions. Let's face it - the American palate is just tuned to prefer bigger, bolder, jammier, higher alcohol wines. Is that what you prefer? It's ok - you can be honest. We won't judge . . . maybe. Anyway, we also ran into our first corked wine in this episode! We are actually surprised it didn't happen sooner - but one of these wines tasted like kissing a wet dog. Not the most pleasant experience - and you can hear us tell you all about it while we are drinking it!

We had the pleasure of spending time with Karl Weichold, the estate winemaker at Stoller Family Estate, located in the famous Dundee Hills in Oregon. Karl shares his story of how he became a renowned winemaker, starting with a degree in Biochemistry and Genetics from Texas A&M, to working at an Italian restaurant where he first fell in love with wine, to Texas wine country, and then to Oregon where he worked at 12th and Maple and Erath before landing at Stoller. In our conversation we talk about his thoughts on the art and science of wine making, what makes a “haunting” wine, and how the changing climate affects the choices they have to make every year - including during the very warm summer of 2023 in the Pacific Northwest. As the estate winemaker, Karl also has the ability to manage the grapes themselves, and we talk about how he has changed the amount of time he spends with the grapes versus the juice. Karl also talks about the special 30 year anniversary celebration at the Stoller Estate is holding this year.

After spending time tasting and being immersed in the world's best wines at the likes of Domaine de la Romanée Conti and Domaine Dujac, Thomas finds himself taking the winemaking reigns at Larry Stone and Domonique Lafon's Lingua Franca in the Willamette Valley, Oregon.

He believes that there will be a change in climate and culture that will result in sub AVAs breaking apart and establishing themselves with different grape varieties.

He wants to create something that can be perpetuated for years and last generations beyond him.This interview was conducted by Rich Schmidt at Craft Wine Cellars on August 2, 2018.
