Page Knudsen Walks Us Through Willamette Valley

Our guest today is Page Knudsen and her and her brothers are second-generation owners and operators of Knudsen Vineyards, in the Willamette Valley of Oregon. In this episode she shares the rich history of their vineyard and the region that has grown to receive worldwide recognition for outstanding Pinot Noir grapes. We were fortunate enough to meet Page last summer on a guided Pinot Wine Walking tour that Page herself led that day. She told us all about the vineyards and the area’s history while walking us through the vineyards and sampling the wines along the way. We are so excited to include this wine walk on our first ever Willamette Valley Wine Tour this month with 16 of our friends and to have Page on our podcast today!

Italian Cuisine in Oregon with Dario Pisoni of Rosmarino's

Today's guest is a fabulous chef from Italy my daughter Tiffany found while researching restaurants for our Candelaria Design Willamette Valley Wine Tour set for May of 2022. Chef Dario Pisoni is the Owner and Head Chef of the amazing restaurant Rosemarino Osteria Italiana in Newberg, Oregon. It has been rated one of the best restaurants in Oregon and the country just four years after opening in 2015 and I have had the pleasure of dining here now a couple times, including just last night where we enjoyed an incredible five course dinner and wine pairing with a sold out crowd of fellow diners.

We have fun exchanging memories of Italy and their fabulous food and wine, Dario shares his life story in Italy, how he gained his love for cooking from his Italian Grandma, and how he and his wife ended up moving to this small town of Newberg. Dario shares what it's like running a restaurant, his favorite recipes, cookbooks, and places in Italy and other interesting topics. We are so excited to introduce our group of friends who are joining us on our May tour to our new friend Dario and his incredible restaurant and if you are ever in the area be sure to make a reservation at Rosemarino Osteria Italiana!

Wine Making in the Heart of Oregon with Bruno Corneaux

Listen to the Podcast

Our podcast today features someone special in the Willamette Wine community, being one of the first winemakers in the Ribbon Hill region/small sub-AVA, Bruno Corneaux. Today, Bruno is the director of winemaking at NW Wine Company in Dundee and owner and winemaker at Domaine Divio Winery in Newberg, Oregon. We visited their stunning winery in Newberg, the first time just by chance, and boy was it a lucky find as there are a hundred wineries in the area! Pair stunning views with incredible Rose’, Chardonnay, Pino Grigio and Pinot Noirs and friendly staff and we were in wine country heaven! While wine tasting we learned about Bruno and his childhood in Burgundy, France and then working in wineries around the world, and then starting Domaine Divio in 2014 . . . we just knew we had to come back and have him as a guest on our podcast!
