The Interview

The interview was held in mid October at the Winery with Amber Lane – Partner and self proclaimed “Tasting Room Sweeper”. Over an extraordinary blend (see “Intuition”) Amber was asked the below:

Q - How did you get into the Wine Business?
A - I got into the wine business because I loved wine and I imagined sipping wine all day and hanging out with fellow wine lovers and calling it "work." ;-) All joking aside, the real catalyst was Annette Bergevin, whose father founded Canoe Ridge Vineyards in Patterson, WA. Annette and I worked together (In a different field) and I discovered that she was pretty closely connected to the wine world. After that, it was just a matter of checking out Walla Walla (loved it) and getting Gary Bergevin to agree to start a winery with the three of us.

Q - Can you describe “Your Passion”?
A - My passion is the simple drive to create, find a challenge to educate myself, and to enjoy life and good wine in the process.

Q- What do you want to be “When you grow up?
A - I want to be known for living my life to the fullest and being a good person.

Q – Would you share a memorable or defining “ Wine Moment” ?
A - At one of our first wine dinners south of Bellingham, Annette and I hosted about 35 people. I can't say that the food pairing was all that great, but It was one of those nights that people talk about for years…. because it got a little crazy! About 3 cases of wine consumed, one ruined pair of shoes, and one confirmed pregnancy. For the record, Annette and I did not ruin our shoes and did not get pregnant!

Amber was kind enough to add these comments:

I just want people to know that Tim came into our tasting room one beautiful October afternoon. With his Robert Parker guidebook on the tasting counter, I quickly estimated that this man was serious about his wine! We spent about 45 minutes together and by the time he left, I felt like I had made a new friend. (That's easy to do when wine is involved!) I have a feeling that if you buy wine from Tim, you will never buy wine from anyone else without comparing them to Tim. He's passionate and knowledgeable about wine but importantly -he's a super nice guy. I look forward to visiting the shop and tasting our wines with everyone. Cheers,
Amber Lane - Partner/Owner/GM/ Tasting Room Sweeper
