Rachel shares the story behind her family-owned winery, their passion for Tempranillo, and how their picturesque riverside property has become one of the most beloved destinations in Southern Oregon wine country. From her deep love for the land to her commitment to crafting expressive wines, this conversation sets the tone for an unforgettable season on the road.

🎙️ Wine Crush Podcast – Season Finale Release! 🍷✨

We’re closing out the regular season of Wine Crush with an episode that is truly rooted in history, family, and passion. This week, we feature White Rose Estate and Garibaldi Cellars — two wineries whose stories are as rich and layered as the wines they craft.

White Rose Estate has built its legacy on precision, elegance, and a vision that spans generations. Their dedication to Pinot Noir and to Oregon’s Willamette Valley terroir tells a story of artistry and devotion.

Garibaldi Cellars, on the other hand, brings a deeply personal family history to the glass. Their wines are more than a beverage—they’re a continuation of tradition, culture, and the love of bringing people together.

Together, these conversations are the perfect way to wrap up another incredible season of Wine Crush. They remind us that wine is never just about what’s in the bottle—it’s about the people, places, and legacies behind it.

🍇 Tune in, sip along, and help us celebrate the end of the season with two truly unforgettable wine journeys.
