About the Book

Dirt+Vine=Wine is a memoir filled with personal narratives about planting, developing and operating Pinot Noir vineyards in the early decades of the Oregon wine industry using innovation, determination and imagination. "The reason I moved to Oregon in 1965 was to prove that excellent Burgundian and Alsatian The vine came before the wine. "For some, the discovery carries an aura of gold rush fever that once grasped the imaginations of early day prospectors. The less optimistic consider it nothing more than a real estate promotions scheme. Between these two extremes is a handful of dedicated viticulturists (wine grape growers) risking their capitol and futures on the promise that Oregon is capable of producing and establishing a competitive market for wine grapes. Joining the viticulturists, and perhaps outnumbering them, are part-time growers going into the grape business as a sideline to full-time jobs or professions in other areas," excerpted from Wine Industry Grows in Oregon, by Oregon State Press staff, 1972. David Lett, the founder of Eyrie Vineyards, appeared on the doorstep of Jim McDaniel's McMinnville, Oregon granary in 1970. He asked McDaniel if he could buy a building from him near the current site of the Granary District to make wine. McDaniel obliged and sold him a small outbuilding. Helping Lett make his first vintage in 1970 inspired McDaniel to purchase a fifteen acre vineyard in the Red Hills of Dundee in 1972, where he built a family home and established McDaniel Vineyards, now Torii Mor Winery. When Rollin Soles, founder of Argyle Winery and Roco Winery, arrived in Oregon in 1985, he was introduced to McDaniel by Allen Holstein, who was then working as the vineyard manager at Knudsen-Erath. He was also managing McDaniel's vineyard. Soles lived at the McDaniel's house that fall and made wine in the basement. It didn't seem unusual to McDaniel at the time, he valued the help from the young men who would eventually become luminaries in the Oregon wine industry. Throughout the two decades, more people bought land and planted vineyards in the three mile radius of Worden Hill and Fairview roads. The early winemaking community in the neighboring hillsides also included Adelsheim, Amity Vineyards, Bethel Heights, Sokol-Blosser, Ponzi, Coury/Hillcrest, Elk Cove, Tualatin, Oak Knoll and others albeit one distinct difference - the Worden Hill Road grape growers grew and sold most of their tonnage for wineries to commercially produce.
