ALL STAR CAST OF WINEMAKERS - This is one heartfelt story you won't want to miss:

HARVEST 2004 - A true Oregon winemaking collaboration. When Jimi unexpectedly passed away in September of 2004, the fruit he had contracted from 11 vineyards were only days from being ready to harvest. The following friends, (who all happen to be some of Oregon’s best and brightest vintners) graciously came forward to donate their time and energy by taking separate lots of grapes and carrying on the tradition of making beautiful Riesling and Pinot Noir - Brooks style! We really can’t think of a more inspiring and heartfelt gesture.

Our warmest and most sincere thanks to:

    * Chris Williams, Momtazi (now with Brooks)
    * David Autrey and Amy Wesselman,Westrey
    * Harry Peterson-Nedry, Chehalem
    * Jay Somers, J Christopher
    * Jim Prosser, J.K. Carriere
    * Josh Bergström, Bergström
    * Laurent Montalieu, Solena Cellars
    * Luisa Ponzi, Ponzi Vineyards
    * Patty Green, Patricia Green Cellars
    * Sam Tannahill and Cheryl Francis, Francis-Tannahill
    * Steve Doerner, Cristom

HARVEST 2005 - continuing the vision and wines for Brooks, the following winemakers have donated their time and committed strong efforts to ensure the future of the winery. We’re extremely grateful and so proud to have their talent and expertise on our team!

    * Chris Williams, Brooks
    * Harry Peterson-Nedry, Chehalem
    * Josh Bergström, Bergström
    * Laurent Montalieu, Solena Cellars
    * Sam Tannahill and Cheryl Francis, Francis-Tannahill
    * Tad Seestedt, Ransom Spirits

HARVEST 2006 - We hired Chris Williams as our full-time winemaker. He continued to lead the extraordinary core group of winemakers who donated their time and talent to help Jimi’s vision continue. Chris began working with Jimi at WillaKenzie Estate and also joined him at Maysara Winery. Chris has brought continuity in philosophy from working close with Jimi - which have kept our wines in the traditional and elegant style.
