This interview is with Dave Parker of Benchmark Wine Group. In this interview, Dave speaks about moving to California to work in Silicon Valley, finding a passion for wine, and following it to purchasing a vineyard. From there he talks about becoming aware of Oregon wine, and coming to Oregon to buy a vineyard in the Eola-Amity Hills.
Along the way, though, he had started Brentwood Wine Auctions and then Benchmark Wine Group, specializing in finding and brokering rare and collectible wines.
