Of course, there is more. Bill was active in the Development of the Oregon Winegrowers Association, the Oregon Wine Board, the Yamhill County Wineries Association, the International Pinot Noir Festival, and the Yamhill County Tourism board.
Susan led on the environmental front with her work on cover crops and leading the business into the triple bottom line concept of people, planet, and profit.
