Juliet Pouillon - owner

I credit my parents with giving me a strong sense of being able to accomplish anything I set my mind toward. I set out early from my family’s farm, ready to shake the hay seeds off and moved to California where I worked as a dolphin trainer. This experience led to an epiphany on a small submarine, where I decided that wide open spaces, dirt and sunshine were where my passions lay.  Since college has been the obvious choice for many aimless American youths, I attended Oregon State University.  Slowly working my way through a degree in Communications and Technical Stage Management, I discovered another great passion: cooking. I like to say that instead of going to school for a cooking degree, cooking put me through school. 11 years of experience in various restaurants doing everything from shucking oysters to making chocolate truffles filled my mind with a sense of what was important to me: good food, great people, and excellent wine. When I met Alexis, we had a common goal in mind: make wine, live life, and love every minute. Even 15 years after beginning our winemaking and lifetime partnership, we still collaborate on the wines and our customer’s experience on a daily basis.  I hope that when you visit us, you feel our love through the wines, the striking landscape, and the laughter of our children.
