This week I had the pleasure of talking with Susan Sokol Blosser about her new book "At Home in the Vineyard - Cultivating a winery, an Industry, and a Life"

This moving, evocative memoir, woven with lyrical descriptions of the sights and smells of vineyard life, tells the inspirational story of one woman's journey to success in an industry run mostly by men. At Home in the Vineyard, filled with colorful characters and unexpected experiences, brings a local rural community vividly alive as Oregon wine pioneer and industry icon Susan Sokol Blosser recounts how she fell in love with a vineyard, learned how to run it, and ultimately achieved her vision of producing Pinot Noirs to rival those of Burgundy. An intimate family story, At Home in the Vineyard also gives a candid insider's view of Oregon's flourishing wine industry.

 

This is a great opportunity to see the trials and tribulations of starting a winery in a new growing region and learn about one of the families that has made a great impact on Oregon winemaking!
