We are many things: (retired) technologists, gardeners, nature & animal lovers, wine makers (and drinkers), artists…

In 2015 we made an investment in Pinot Noir vines planted in a local vineyard in the Dundee Hills AVA of the Willamette Valley.  We started making annual pilgrimages to Oregon. We were happy to help where we could, setting fence posts and preparing for trellising or whatever else needed to be done. Fast-forward to 2018 and we officially moved to Oregon, settling in Newberg nestled at the base of the Chehalem Mountains.

In addition to our full time careers, we harvested together with family and friends and co-workders and in 2018 we produced our first vintage of our own label of wine: Vined. 

Freshly retired from our tech careers, we are continuing our work with the art we enjoy so much. In addition to returning to our Stained Glass work we are also adding digital art, barrel art and more to our catalog.

Leaving behind friends, family, co-workers was not an easy decision by any means, but it is one we would gladly repeat.
