Trinity Vineyards Claimed

It was late 1993 when my wife and I first discussed making our dream a reality. Both of us dreamed of living in the country, starting a small vineyard and raising a family. With the fast pace of daily life and job pressures, we took longer than anticipated but finally got to the point where we thought, it’s now or never. After an extensive search, we finally found what we’d been looking for — an old vineyard for sale out in the hilly, farm country south of Salem. And then the real work began. At first, we thought we could revive the plants and bring the original vineyard back to life, but that was not to be. Too much overgrowth and too much plant loss would have meant too much work for a wine of limited expectation. We decided to start over and plant a whole new vineyard from scratch. We were heartbroken at first, but eventually, we came to see it as an opportunity to start our own dream — a clean slate from which to start fresh.
