Meet The Winemakers
Oregon has grown to one of the world's most renowned wine regions. The focus on Oregon Pinot Noir has wineries commanding some of the highest prices in America. Oregon Pinot can be found in high end wine shops and restaurants around the globe. The pioneers of Oregon wine set an amazing stage. Their unwillingness to listen to naysayers established the foundation for a thriving wine community where just forty years ago none was thought possible. Yet today, in a region that prides it self on being an inclusive community, not all are asked to the table.
Bertony Faustin, proprietor of Abbey Creek Vineyard in North Plains, Oregon , the first recorded Black winemaker in Oregon, began the Red, White & Black journey to help identify and tell the stories of other minority winemakers. As the project took shape, more minorities in wine making have surfaced and an important story continues become ever more important.
The purpose of Red White & Black is to highlight those people who are deeply entrenched, have their livelihood on the line but somehow are missed by the press and not often included openly in the larger Oregon wine community. This is to tell the story of what life is like, what hurdles, acceptances, challenges, and opportunities exist.
