REX HILL Vineyards has participated in Oregon's sustainability movement from its outset, our vineyards and winery are certified LIVE (Low Input Viticulture & Enology, Inc.). We are committed to helping our independent growers to farm organically and our Jacob Hart Vineyard is Demeter certified Biodynamic. Biodynamic farming is the most stringent of organic farming practices and takes into count not only the physical aspects of farming, but the energetic and spiritual aspects as well.
SAM TANNAHILL: Director of Viticulture & Winemaking
Sam graduated from Washington and Lee with an East Asian Studies degree that he uses on a daily basis in the winery. After traveling through Central Asia for a year he settled down working in the wineries and vineyards of Burgundy for two years and managed to bluff his way to a post-graduate degree in winemaking from the University de Dijon. He worked with Ted Lemon at Littorai, and then served as Winemaker at Archery Summit for seven years. In 2002, the time was ripe to strike out for further fame, glory and new horizons in the form of A to Z Wineworks with his wife, Cheryl Francis, and Bill and Deb Hatcher. Sam and Cheryl own a biodynamic vineyard and also make Francis Tannahill wines.
