Next Generation 2 head up Sokol-Blosser Winery

I ran across a bit of good news for all Oregon wine lovers, especially for all you Pinot Noir fans.

Sokol Blosser Winery announced recently the retirement of founder Susan Sokol Blosser as president and the appointment of her children Alex and Alison Sokol Blosser as co-presidents, culminating a three-year transition process.

In their new roles, Alex and Alison will oversee operations and implement the strategic vision for the pioneering Oregon winery, which was founded in 1971 by Susan and her then-husband, Bill Blosser. Nik Blosser, eldest son of Susan and Bill, will continue in his role as chairman of the winery’s board of directors, assisting his siblings with the direction and oversight of the business.

“Our goal is to build on the amazing foundation our mother and everyone at the winery created over the past decades,” Alison said. “Making great wines, conducting our business with integrity, respecting our employees and the earth, not being afraid of innovation and remaining family owned and operated—these are goals and values that will inspire and guide us.”

Susan added that she will serve with pride as an “ambassador” for Sokol Blosser Winery and will provide strategic counsel to the co-presidents. Author of the memoir “At Home in the Vineyard” (University of California Press, 2006), she looks forward to having more time for writing projects and a deeper involvement in environmental issues.

You have a opportunity to meet Susan Sokol-Blosser and taste there wine on March 5th. She will be there as well doing a book signing and reading. 5pm til 8ish
