About Day Wines
I am a 4th generation Pacific NW native with an acute case of wanderlust. It all began when I was 19, traveling in northern Italy, where I first fell in love with wine. I came home from that trip with 18 bottles in my backpack and a fire lit in my heart.
In my twenties I sold my possessions and traveled around the world continuously for two years, to wine producing regions - I reached some 80 wine regions on this trip. Throughout that journey I tasted over 1500 wines, worked on vineyards, met winemakers, vineyard growers and somms. The wines that stood out for me the most were made with organic or biodynamic fruit and native fermentation, low use of new wood, limited filtration etc. When I returned to Oregon, I worked nine production internships with small, hands-on producers utilizing these methods. I honed my craft on the restaurant side as a wine director and server, and the sales side as a rep for a French cooperage.
In 2012 I made five barrels of Pinot Noir. Through the years I had discovered other grape varieties being grown around Oregon, and I reflected upon how Oregon is comparable in size to European countries and how one or two champion grape varieties weren’t enough to express all of the diversity I knew existed in my state. It would be a travesty if Italy only grew Sangiovese or Nebbiolo. I wrote a business plan and was working four jobs to pay for my second vintage. Through one of the jobs I met some folks who decided to help propel my plans. With their loans I was able to grow my production significantly and I now own and operate a custom crush facility, and have started a new winery in Piedmont with our first releases coming out this spring. I have been really happy to receive a lot of press and accolades, from the New York Times, San Francisco Chronicle, Oregonian, Wine Enthusiast, etc as well as a James Beard Award nomination for best wine producer in 2020, and I have been named in several books. But studying and exploring the diversity of the place that is Oregon through dozens of grape varieties, has really been the gratifying thing for me.
I’d love to hear what you think of our wines, and thank you in advance for your support!

Yellow and pink apple, juicy yellow peach and apricot, and exotic floral wildness dominate the nose. The palate reflects the nose with the addition of spicy ginger, lemon oil, and cherry blossom.

Expressive tropical notes of starfruit, guava, and mango shine through, supported by aromas of rose water and sweet herbs. Grapes were destemmed into 1.5-ton fermenters, and skin macerated fermentation kicked off spontaneously. Punch downs were twice per day. When it became dry, we racked the wine and pressed into neutral oak barrels to age and complete malolactic fermentation.This vintage was filtered with partial malo, to keep the acid in a fresh place.
