About Us
MEET Our PEOPLE
We are a small winery of devoted individuals who care deeply about the quality of the wines we make and the genuine hospitality we offer. We’re just as honored by the place our bottle occupies on your table as we are by the occasion of your visit to our winery. We invite you to sit around our table, enjoy our wine and add to our story.
These are the people who spend their day working to bring our wines from grapes on the vines to the bottle on your table.
Meet the team
Where are you from?
I was born in Southern California where I spent my formative years. My family moved to Idaho when I was 14 and I quickly developed a deep appreciation for the four seasons represented in our Northwest climate which led me to Oregon in the early 90's.
What do you do in your role at Cana's Feast Winery?
I make wine, which is to say that I smell things, and taste things, and clean things, and fix things, and endure all the paperwork that comes with what I believe is the best job in the world.
If you could only choose one of Cana's Feast wines to drink, which one would it be and why?
I would prefer not to have to choose one...but in a zombie apocalypse scenario, I would grab a bottle of my Nebbiolo on the way out the door. If the world is crumbling, I want my last impression of wine to be of Nebbiolo, for all its inherent complexity and exceedingly stimulating appeal.
How do you spend your free time?
Chess, tending to my garden and my plants, being outdoors where I can gawk at the astonishing beauty of nature, cooking & eating, playing games with my people, and improving my language skills.
