The IPNC family is deeply saddened by the loss of Maria Stuart, co-founder of R. Stuart & Co Winery (@rstuartwine) and an integral contributor to the IPNC on many levels. Maria passed away on Wednesday, October 13 after living with a rare form of cancer for 20 months. Maria’s enormous heart and commitment to community were deeply felt at the IPNC. She began working with IPNC in 1996 and became executive director in 1997, the same year in which she also gave birth to her oldest child, Joe – on the afternoon of the Salmon Bake! Maria’s long list of contributions to IPNC was just beginning. The Grand Seminar theme in 1997 was “A Burgundian Travelogue” with iconic wine writer Remington Norman as the guide. The seminar featured a number of wines presented by top-shelf Burgundian producers. In 1998, she executed a ground-breaking seminar “Terroir and the Winemaker”, with three Willamette Valley winemakers showing wines made from fruit they swapped for an experiment especially designed for IPNC. Maria also served on the IPNC Board of Directors from 2012 - 2017, and was board President in 2016. That year's program was “Pinot Noir in the Antipodes” with Australian author and winemaker James Halladay as the moderator. Even when not serving in an official capacity, her love for IPNC was always deeply felt and appreciated. She was one of the greatest champions of the event, and served as an irreplaceable resource for creativity and inspiration for members of our board and staff alike. Her light, love, and vivacity will resonate through many IPNCs to come. Contributions can be made in her name to ¡Salud! Pinot Noir Barrel Auction, McMinnville Community Action or the McMinnville Education Foundation.

We can't wait for IPNC Vineyard Tours & Winery Lunches to return next year, along with all the other amazing festivities we have planned. Every summer, weekend ticket holders travel through the vine-covered countryside to a nearby Willamette Valley winery for a guided stroll through the vineyard, a winemaker-led tasting, and a chef-prepared multi-course lunch. Is it summer yet?

In response to recent local events, we want to affirm that all are welcome at IPNC. Our hearts have swelled seeing our beloved wine community take a stand against hate in these past weeks. We remain in solidarity with BIPOC, LGBTQIA+, and any marginalized or vulnerable community members, and condemn any act of racism or bigotry. We are uncompromisingly dedicated to equity, diversity, and inclusion.
