Getting to Know Winemaker Dave Specter of Bells Up Winery in Willamette Valley Oregon

We're heading back to Bells Up Winery in Oregon's Willamette Valley with winemaker and co-owner Dave Specter!

In this Big Blend Radio "Getting to Know You" interview, Dave talks about turning a dead Christmas tree farm into a thriving boutique winery, the music-inspired story behind the Bells Up name, rare grapes you won't find anywhere else in the Willamette Valley — including a sparkling Seyval Blanc and a soon-to-be-released Italian variety nearly wiped out in World War II. Plus, Dave answers our 7 Getting to Know You questions — his spirit animal, bucket list, theme song, dinner party nightmares, and strong opinions about heirloom tomatoes!
