A NEW CHAPTER!

We are proud to be part of the Dundee Hills wine community in Oregon’s Willamette Valley. It’s the commitment to responsible stewardship, of our beautiful vineyard that’s most exciting as we envision the many special vintages that lay ahead. When planting our 7-acre vineyard in early 2020, my wife Susan and I were encouraged to select our favorite 8 unique clones of pinot noir, complemented by 4 clones of chardonnay. We’re confident these choices will produce amazing wines for us to share with you all.

It is our hope that this new chapter in the red hills of Dundee will become our family legacy.

Not only for our children, but for our Grandchildren. Joseph, Gabriella, Piper Rose, Beatriz Isabelle, Jasper Apollo and Ramona Valentina.

We thank you for your support of our dream!

Cheers! - John & Susan Olenik

OUR FAMILY

BRIAN OLENIK:  Married to his lovely wife Lelia, they have three beautiful children, Joseph Andrew, Gabriella, and Piper Rose. Their children, our grandchildren, are the inspirations for naming of our small cuvée production Pinot Noir, Chardonnay and Rosé wines.

Brian’s passion for food and wine draws him to Oregon’s Pinot Noir for its beautiful aromatics and the ease with which it complements a wide variety of foods. Brian has been exposed to world class wines for over two decades.  We’re proud of his accomplishments in San Diego’s business arena and look forward to working closely with him to share ideas on growing our brand.  

LESLEY OLENIK GALINDO: Our daughter has been a tremendous help in exploring and incorporating the various social media options to provide much needed exposure and to help boost our presence, showcase our wines, and allow us to garner acceptance by consumers and peers alike. We are convinced this is a key component to our viability and growth as we move forward over the next few years and expose our wines to a much broader, more demanding audience.  We’re delighted to have her on board!

Lesley and her husband, Justin Galindo, work and reside in Los Angeles along with our beautiful granddaughters Beatriz Isabelle & Ramona Valentina and grandson, Jasper Apollo. Lesley and Justin enjoy fine cuisine, wines from all corners of the world and music; they frequent Oregon wine country every chance they get! They’re particularly impressed with the simplistic, natural beauty of the Willamette Valley wine region and with each visit continue to discover new wonders. Beginning with the 2016 vintage, Beatriz Isabelle has been featured as one of our Chardonnays while Jasper Apollo, a special little guy, is one of our featured single bottled Pinot Noirs. Since Ramona is a 2022 vintage arrival this year, her legacy wine will be coming soon!
