Jacobsen Salt Co. Presents: Young Winemakers Showcase: Day and Holden Wines
Join us at our SE Portland tasting room every other Wednesday from 4-7pm for happy hour treats. Celebrate hump day by ducking out of work a little early to enjoy fantastic sips and snacks from some of our favorite local partners.
Day Wines
Brianne Day is the winemaker and owner of Day Wines, and the owner and manager of Day Camp, a shared winery space in Dundee, Oregon. Brianne, a native of the Pacific Northwest, became interested in "old school" winemaking while traveling in Europe and learned to make wine from mentors who honed this philosophy in Oregon.
Prior to launching Day Wines, Brianne gained background in the industry from multiple perspectives. She worked with wineries The Eyrie Vineyards, Brooks Winery, Grochau Cellars, Belle Pente and Scott Paul, and completed harvests in New Zealand, Argentina and France. Wine sales and restaurant experience were gained through stints at Portland's Le Pigeon and Little Bird Bistro, and during a five-year internship at Storyteller Wine Company. Additionally, she managed sales for a Bordeaux cooperage, Saury, which provided many opportunities to listen and learn from winemakers throughout the Pacific Northwest.
Since her first vintage in 2012, Day Wines have been warmly received in the domestic and international markets, by buyers, critics and journalists alike.
Holden Wines
A Northern Italian focused winery based in Portland, Oregon, founded in 2011. Winemaker Sterling Whitted worked stints at Owen Roe, Cameron and Teutonic Wine Company while studying for an advanced enology degree at Oregon State University. In 2015, he was working in the front of the house at Cooper's Hall in southeast Portland while making his wine there. 2013 production was 300 cases, with expected increase to 600 cases in 2014.
