Susan Sokol Blosser on Sustainability
In the early 1970s Oregon wine pioneers Susan Sokol Blosser and Bill Blosser arrived in the Willamette Valley’s Dundee Hills with a dream of planting a vineyard and making fine premium wines. Together they built Sokol Blosser into one of Oregon’s premier wineries producing world-class Pinot noir and several other varieties.
In a conversation with Oregon Experience Susan talks about her experiences and Sokol Blosser's mission of achieving sustainability throughout their family-owned business.
