Local wine executives are cautiously optimistic that wine growers in Southern Oregon will be able to navigate climate changes successfully.
Among them are Craig Camp of Troon Vineyard, Edward Kerwin of Belle Fiore Winery, Dan Marca of DANCIN Vineyards, and Paula Brown and Pat Flannery, owners of Dana Campbell Vineyards. They believe climate change has potential upsides as well as downsides.
That is the assessment of Roseburg winegrower Greg Jones, as well. An atmospheric scientist, wine climatologist and CEO of Abacela Winery, Jones spoke April 13 at Southern Oregon University as part of the Friends of Hannon Library speaker series.
