Photos, videos, and notes from life as a cellarhand in Newberg, OR
Have you ever considered what goes into a glass of wine? Wondered what processes turn the humble grape into something so intoxicating? Is wine really a living thing, constantly evolving and gaining complexity? What about the people who make it? Do they still use their feet? And what does the weather have to do with it? Cellar Bites is a personal website for collecting memories and publishing knowledge and perspectives from the 2026 Willamette Valley harvest season. While some of us in the cellar may have more experience than others, everyone featured on this page is a professional in their own right. While I am neither a web designer, photographer, writer, or sommelier, here I am attempting to be all four for the first time, so please bear with me. To my friends near and far, welcome to my blog; I hope you find my pictures and writing interesting. Thank you for stopping by and living in this thin slice of a new life.
