Great job on the 2023 First Taste of Oregon. This event was far better than in the past. The new building made a difference as did the advertising.

This was my third time at the First Taste. The second year was about 190% better than the first and this year was over 440% more than the first. My wines are far better but so was the effort put in by your team.

That is a great event for us.

Samuel H. Graves, Flourishing Palm Cellars
