10.24.2024: I just met Kishi-san, Marketing Director the day before, and he was flying back to the Japan the next morning. Late afternoon, he was able to enjoy a quick tasting, right before closure at my Lange Estate in Dundee Hills. Kishi-san was surprisingly able to meet our founder, Don Lange and shared pictures of his winery in northern Japan🍇🇯🇵. Nice pic of the two in front of our Tasting Room entrance with the art work by Jun Kaneko international acclaimed sculptor. Great for Kishi-san to learn about Lange being the 4th producer of Pinot Gris in the United States, and the first in the New World to barrel ferment it thanks to Don’s vision🥂

At Hokkaido Food Fair, I met Kishi-san from Hokkaido Wine . His very 1st trip to America🇺🇸 and he had no plans to visit any wineries in Oregon!? When I visited Hokkaido a month earlier, it was a huge feat for me to take all the train rides to visit saké breweries. Took the next day off from work, picked Kishi-san at his hotel, we enjoyed delicious wine tastings, lunch, and vineyard tour at my Willamette Valley Vineyards sparkling wines in Dayton. I gives me great joy to share the beauty of Oregon wine county🍇🥂
