Being small can be an advantage when it comes to making great wines. We can keep a close eye on each vineyard row and on every barrel in the cellar. This extra attention is needed to produce our high quality wines.

However, when it comes to marketing in a global marketplace, being small can be a challenge. That is why Oregon wineries collaborate to ensure the success of each us.

 

 

Showing Pinot noir – August 6-8, 2024

The Willamette: The Pinot noir Auction is a great example of this collaborative spirit – and one that I’m looking forward to. I, along with more than 100 Willamette Valley Wineries, will be showcasing our wines – and many which are only available through this auction.

Our entry, Lot #9, is a unique 5 case lot of Pinot noir titled “The Hartland” – as we are the Gladharts.

If small unique lots of incredible Pinot noir and Chardonnay make your mouth water, there are two ways that you can get involved.

Bid-to-Purchase Options

As a Business

If you own or manage a wine-selling business in the United States, you can bid and resell the wines to your clients or members. (Maybe keep a bottle for yourself, too. 🙂). This includes restaurants, retail shops, hotels, and social clubs.

As an Individual

Through a partnership with Dover Hall, individuals can now bid on the wines for personal consumption.

How to Bid

If this sounds like something you’d like to learn more about, please reach out to me directly at russell@wintershillwine.com. I’ll explain the details and get you the information you need to register.

I’m proud that each year our wines raise over $1000 per case to help promote Willamette Valley wines all across the world.

Cheers!

Russell
