Scott Frank moved to the Willamette Valley in 2001 to serve as a retail wine buyer at a local grocery store. Living in working in the world-renowned Valley endeared Scott to its “humbleness—” or, as he describes it, the “blue-collar agricultural area” with promise towards fresh and simple Loire-inspired varietals.
After spending time working under Cameron Winery’s John Paul as assistant winemaker, Frank made a move for himself taking on his first vintage in 2010 and flying straight as an arrow towards his ever-evolving, ever-elegant Loire Valley styles sourced from organic and biodynamic farms in the Willamette.
Scott operates the winery in downtown Portland with his wife Dana.
