On February 4th, twelve outstanding individuals were recognized with an Oregon Wine Industry Award at the 21st annual Oregon Wine Symposium. Each year, industry members are nominated by peers and awarded for their contributions to the Oregon wine industry. As if making wine and running a business wasn't taxing enough, these individuals went above and beyond to ensure that their leadership would inspire and encourage the Oregon wine industry as a whole.

This month we chose to highlight their efforts and put them in the spotlight that they created for all of us. Though we were only able to feature four of the twelve individuals awarded, you can read about all twelve of them here.

So we invite you to join us in raising our glasses in celebration of these extraordinary industry partners and their many contributions to making Oregon wine singularly unique.
