What a treasure to find this documentary…after digging around for some interesting content, I came across this video where Dick Erath, Dick Ponzi, and David Lett, Oreogn’s Papa Pinot, talk about what it was like to grow grapes in Oregon, post-prohibition. Although David passed away in 2008, his legacy lives on in the Pacific Northwest.

This video produced by LCBO takes you on a journey to learn about the wines of the Pacific Northwest — one of America’s best-kept wine secrets. Meet the pioneers responsible for Oregon’s world-renowned Pinot Noir and discover why Washington State’s wine regions are establishing a reputation for powerful reds and refined whites.
