Upon returning to Philadelphia, he shifted his focus from cocktails to wine gaining his WSET Level 3 and curating lists for the city’s top restaurants. Seeking a new challenge, he packed his bags and moved to the Willamette Valley in 2018 where he worked his first harvest with Ruby Vineyard, learning the intricacies of the winemaking process.

Her travel company connects travelers to her favorite places, Oregon and France, for world class hospitality and wine education. After moving to France in 2009 “on a wing and a prayer," Ball fell in love with the food, wine, and people in Beaujolais in particular.

She honed her wine skills and became a Certified Sommelier and French Wine Scholar.

In preparation for Episode 7 of the Oregon Pinot Broadcast happening this Saturday at 11:00am PST, we invite you to meet our panelists! The first panelist we would like to introduce is... Lily Hanridge! Lily was born in South India but raised in Arizona. Through her challenges, she would find refuge in the cuisine of India. It was this love for cooking with her family that would lead to discovering her passion for food and wine. She later enrolled in culinary classes and worked in wine bistros to learn about the industry. After high school, she assumed a role at the Oregon Wine History Archive to become familiar with Oregon’s rich history before enrolling at Linfield University in Wine Studies. Since then, she has worked with the IPNC, interned for the Assemblage Symposium, and earned her Level 1 & 2 WSET Wine and Spirit certification. She takes pride in being a woman of color and a part of the future of the wine industry. Join us this Saturday to find out what this lovely new face in Oregon's wine industry has to say!

Throwback to Salmon Bake Dinner in 1992! We are loving these #ipnctimecapsule gems. #memories #thenandnow #tbt #throwback #oregonwine #salmonbake #justforfun

Jan 15

Finally, we’d like to introduce the German wine legend... Ernst Loosen! Ernst Loosen was born into a great tradition of German winemaking. The Dr. Loosen estate on the Mosel River has been in his family for over 200 years, so you’d think it only natural for him to take up the family legacy as a profession. Looking to the New World to rejuvenate the image of Riesling, in 1999 Ernst entered into a joint venture with Chateau Ste. Michelle in Washington state. Together they produce a Washington Riesling, called Eroica, which has set a new bar for expressive, top-quality Riesling in the United States. The wine is regularly praised as the finest example of American Riesling currently being produced. In addition to his passion for Riesling, Ernst is a lifelong Pinot Noir fanatic, a variety that he has produced in the Pfalz since 1996. After numerous visits to Oregon over the years, he found a kindred spirit in winemaker Jay Somers, founder of J. Christopher Wines. They formed a partnership in 2010, built a new J. Christopher winery and have established a vineyard in the northern Willamette Valley. Join us tomorrow at 11:00am Pacific Time for Episode 6 of the Oregon Pinot Broadcast!
