OCTOBER 11, 2022

Letter from Tom Danowski

Dear Friends, First, Silicon Valley Bank’s annual State of the Industry survey is open only until this Saturday, Oct. 15. While it unfortunately conflicts more directly than usual with the harvest and crush, this particular study has become an increasingly important one for Oregon as our participation rate has ratcheted up a bit over time enabling Rob McMillan and his analysts to provide more relevant Oregon comparisons to other regions. Hopefully, you can find time to contribute your answers. Second, we are looking forward to releasing the next edition of the Oregon Wine Touring Guide in early 2023. But we need your help by next Monday, Oct. 17 to ensure the tasting room listing are complete and accurate. Have a quick look at our recent email and the Tasting Room Listing Toolkit. Third, register to join us next Tuesday, Oct. 18 at 11 a.m. for our next all-industry Zoom. If your schedule doesn’t allow you to be with us, we record all of these. Guests next week include speakers from Ellipse Analytics talking about the Clean Label Project, online retailer Vivino, and our friends from UC Davis and the CA Wine Institute with details on the grant-funded work underway to analyze wine samples and build a database of markers that will uniquely identify wines by region and help stop counterfeiters. Finally, you’ve got about a month left to submit nominations for the annual Oregon Wine Industry Awards which will be announced early next year. The categories include Lifetime Achievement, Founder, Outstanding Industry Leadership, Vineyard Excellence, and Industry Partner. We appreciate the long days (and nights) everyone is putting in, and the Oregon Wine Board managers join me in sending our good thoughts and warm wishes out to everyone for a safe and prosperous vintage. The early yield information sounds pretty remarkable after what we experienced in April. We hope to see you soon on the other side.

Protect Oregon Wine Legitimacy and Authenticity. Join CA and WA in Stopping Counterfeits

The California Wine Institute (CWI) has obtained a USDA Technical Assistance grant for 5 years of funding to build a robust database of wine samples in order to determine authenticity. Oregon has been invited to contribute to this effort. This important set of data will provide references for wine varieties and winegrowing regions. The only costs to the winery are for the sample collection (50 ml.) and shipment to, or drop-off at, the laboratory. Samples must be comprised of 95% or more of the principal grape variety. Learn more about how you can assist in helping identify Oregon’s standards of identity, and contact Dr. Patricia Howe phowe@WineNMR.org for additional information.
