Thank you for visiting Wine Camp. I created Wine Camp to promote the discussion of terroir driven wines in a points free environment. I believe the current addiction to the 100 point scale pulls many consumers away from wines with grace, complexity and a true sense of place. Here you will find no rankings and all of the wines in my wine notes are recommended. The only exception you’ll find is if I think a particular brand is a consumer rip-off that needs exposing as in this post.

There are several featured sections of this blog, all of which you can find on the navigation bar on the left hand side of each page:

“The Wine Camp Blog” my ongoing commentary on the world of wine and food

”My Wine and Food Writing Library” features longer, more in-depth articles covering the world of wine and food and the archives from VinoCibo.com.

David Lett, Father of Oregon Pinot, Passes Away

DateFriday, October 10, 2008 at 03:40PM

david lett David Lett, pioneer and father of the Oregon wine industry passed away yesterday. He will be mourned by the entire winemaking community here. Below is the announcement from Jason Lett, his son and winemaker at Eyrie Vineyards, which David founded in 1966:

The Lett family regrets to announce that David Lett passed away yesterday evening.  He died peacefully at home, surrounded by his family.  We are deeply appreciative of the support of our colleagues and friends at this time. We welcome your notes of condolence - David loved to reach out to people and to connect, and we hope you'll feel free to do the same.

David cared deeply for the land and for his family.  In lieu of flowers or gifts, David's legacy can be memorialized through gifts to 1000 Friends of Oregon or to Families United, a non-profit that supports assisted living for adults with special needs.

A celebration of David's life will be held, as he would have wished, AFTER harvest.

Condolences may be sent to:
