American Wine Story: Interview with Sam Tannahill
After time abroad in the European wine industry and a degree from the University of Dijon, Sam Tannahill returned to the United States to work at Archery Summit as winemaker for seven years. After that, he joined Deb and Bill Hatcher to create A to Z Wineworks whom he later purchased Rex Hill Winery with in 2007. During his time in the Oregon wine industry, he has been involved in many of the organizations such as Oregon Wine Board.
In this interview, Tannahill talks about his memories and experiences in the industry. He talks about what made him fall in love with Oregon as well as some of his cherished times with the late Jimi Brooks and other members of the industry.
This interview was conducted by David Baker of Three Crows Production.
Willamette Valley Vineyards, Oregon
As part of our participation in the Wine Tourism Conference, held in Portland in November 2013, we opted in for the final event: a wine and food pairing dinner at Willamette Valley Vineyards. This was also the 4th winery we've visited in our project to visit a winery in all 50 states.
The winery, founded by Jim Bernau in 1983 and now celebrating its 30th anniversary, is making the tasting experience the main focus of customer visits, believing that wines should be tasted with food. We were the first group, the dress rehearsal if you will, of the newly built space. With a commercial kitchen and a demonstration area including wood burning oven, plenty of great food is sure to be had.
