In Chapter 4 of 7, Willamette Valley winemaker Patty Green discusses her mentor, Richard Sommer, an Oregon winemaking visionary, pioneer, and Hillcrest Vineyard founder. Sommer provided then-novice winemaker Green non-traditional mentoring and support during her late-80s Hillcrest tenure. Sommer, who passed away the afternoon of this interview, filmed July 28th, 2009, influenced many by helping others, embracing nature, and building Oregon's wine vinifera - Old World wine grape focus - from nothing starting with a 1961 Umpqua Valley planting.

All in all, the Umpqua Valley continues to exhibit the pioneering spirit that Richard Sommer began. We now have 24 tasting rooms. Scott Henry and Philip Girardet are two of the first wave of winemakers in the region.

Richard is under attack by Forest Grove, Oregon. They claim to have planted the first pinot noir in Oregon. This is a lie!

@umpquawineau thank you for the note. We were thrilled to have Patty reflect on Richard and his influences on Oregon winemakers. Who are some other influencers and visionaries in Umpqua that have inspired you?
