We've been working w/ since its beginning and we're so happy to release our 2023 Fairsing Vineyard Pinot Noir. It was rated 96 Points by , who called it "medium-bodied on the palate, with even, ripe tannins, mouthwatering saltiness, and a sanguine, savory feel, although it remains pure all the way through." This is a special high altitude vineyard and it's an honor to let its character show. **e

We are so excited to release our 2023 Kalita Vineyard Pinot Noir... Rated 95 Points by and 94 Points by , this has woodsy and herbal notes with a soft and supple texture. Apparently, my dog, Coco Chanel, wants you to know she approves as I couldn't keep her out of the photo! **e **erydogs

Now that nearly all of our fruit is in, I would like to thank my faithful vineyard companion, Coco Chanel, for being ecstatic to walk vineyards with me throughout the growing season. She loves all of our vineyards and gets excited to walk each of them, though home is where her heart is. **erydogs **emakerslife

Sunday was a magical morning for the first harvest of our estate vineyard, which was also sort of our 39th. My parents and I moved to our family home in the in the mid-1980s. My dad was a software engineer with a hobby of making w**e, so he planted a small vineyard- just a few rows to play with.

When my dad and I co-founded Et Fille Wines in 2003, we began with leases on other vineyards because what we had at home was too small to support a w**ery venture and its 1000’ elevation was too high to ripen fully. Fourteen years later, my dad died and my one-year-old daughter and I moved back to the family home so my mom wouldn’t be alone. I noticed that a warmer climate meant that grapes were ripening each year, so I planted a hay field with Pinot Noir, Pinot Meunier, and Chardonnay a few years ago.

The first fruit came to bear on Sunday, a tribute to my dad’s legacy. I asked my mom to pick the first clusters and the three of us filled the first bucket as a family. It seemed poignant that this first- and 39th- harvest of our estate vineyard happened on our 23rd Et Fille harvest and my 10th without my dad. It reminds me that where there is loss, there is gain.

September is and we'd like to honor the who were our heroes when my daughter, Gabriella, was born prematurely. We can all imagine the critical care they provide to high risk infants, but there are other forms of support that they provide to families that can last long after the babies leave the hospital. One of our NICU nurses brought a camera in to take some photos of me learning to give infant massage to Gabriella because, "Well, I know you won't get a baby photo shoot." A few of our nurses became lasting friends and club members that have watched Gabriella grow up. I will always be grateful for the compassion these nurses gave during a vulnerable time.

We still give a portion of proceeds of all Gabriella Pinot Noir sales back to the NICU at Providence Portland because, without them, there would be no Gabriella the girl or the w**e. A special thanks to our NICU friends not only this month, but all year long.

What are 3 things we know about harvest 2026 so far?

1️⃣ The growing season has been warm, with Growing Degree Days (GDD, or how we measure how warm a vintage is) through August running 16% above the 30 year average, but 16% below the very warm year of 2015. My goal is always to keep alcohol, acidity, and tannin in balance and we have a better shot of doing so in a year with GDD like this. What this may mean for the w**e is that we’ll have a ripe and balanced profile, consistent with recent vintages.

2️⃣ The cool conditions and rain of the first week of September jammed on the breaks and slowed ripening down. This is outstanding news as it means that we can let grapes hang to develop more mature flavors and phenolic ripeness, which are the precursors to tannin complexity. What this may mean for the w**e is that we’ll have balance and more flavor complexity.

3️⃣ The concern with rain is that it increases the potential for disease pressure. Thus far, I have seen limited evidence of this. What this may mean for the w**e is that crop levels should remain on track, so quantity will be roughly as expected.

Overall, I'm optimistic at this stage! See 🔗 in comments for more.

You know what we've been loving lately? Gamay and pizza! We had a Games and Gamay Night with wood fired pizzas recently- it's all a combination that is made for one another. Our 2024 Gamay Noir is now available. **e

Vineyard checks are different this year. My daughter, Gabriella, has always come to take samples with me, but this year I've asked her to walk me through the criteria for a pick decision. Doing so with the same criteria my dad taught me at our estate vineyard where my dad first planted a few rows as a hobby in the mid 1980s makes this all feel a bit magical. **emakerslife **ery

Next month will bring the first harvest of our estate vineyard, yet the inaugural vintage feels like a homecoming.
​
We moved here forty years ago when my parents built our home and my dad planted a few rows of grapes as a hobby. The land, at 1,000 feet elevation, was too high to sustain a vineyard for anything more than a bit of fun because the grapes only ripened fully every three years or so in the cool climate of the in those early years.
​
I moved away after high school and built my life in New York, San Francisco, and Portland, never thinking about returning to my childhood home. After my dad died in an accident, however, my daughter, Gabriella, who was 18 months old at the time, and I moved back to the family property so my mom wouldn't be alone.
​
A few years in, I noticed that those few rows were getting ripe every year. This is not surprising as climate change has meant that we are picking earlier and are now looking at higher elevation sites. What was impossible before started looking ideal to poise us for the future. I planted what had been a hay field with our estate vineyard of Pinot Noir, Chardonnay, and Pinot Meunier.
​
Now, it's finally coming to bear. It happens to be our twenty-fourth harvest and tenth without my dad, so this feels like moving forward. We're honoring our legacy as we focus on the future. We're able to do this due to your ongoing support and the way you've shared our story. It's not our history- it's ourstory.
​
"We shall not cease from exploration
And the end of all our exploring
Will be to arrive where we started
And know the place for the first time."
