1: The Pioneers
Much has been written about Oregon’s wine pioneers — who arrived first, when they founded their wineries, when they planted their first vines and when they made their first wine.
Chapter 1, "The Pioneers," documents development of the Oregon wine industry with a special focus on the Yamhill Valley. The aim is not to establish bragging rights, but to provide an at-a-glance chronology of the origins of one of Oregon’s most dynamic and exciting industries.
