We were visiting some neighbor's Day in the Vineyard west of Yamhill and a friend of theirs who owns SJR vineyard and Delmas was visiting. Some interesting discussion followed as they had relocated from Napa just as the craziness hit the valley. The Edelmans have 10ac of Pinot Noir on second leaf and should get a decent crop this year. Three more blocks to plant, one being white, probably Chardonnay. I think Chris can relate. They started Sylvanus Estates after studying in New Zealand, looking to locate in WW before deciding on the WV and Pinot Noir. They have a summer house on site, but choose to spend time and the winter in Portland. Like Chris, they still need day jobs.
