Gustiamo Night Featuring Bergevin Lane Vineyards
 
Wine & Food Pairing - August 14, 2008
 
A Little Bit About Bergevin Lane Vineyards
In the beginning months of 2001, Annette Bergevin and Amber Lane co-founded and created Bergevin Lane Vineyards with Gary Bergevin (Annette's father). The goal for Amber and Annette was to "leave the rat race behind" in California and get back to what they each wanted from life. Sure sounds familiar to us!! Annette wanted to be close to her family and long-time friends, and Amber wanted to take on new challenges and continue her personal path of growth and education. Gary's 20 years of experience in the wine industry in both the vineyard and business aspects, was the catalyst to start the winery. Together they brainstormed, worked hard, and brought to fruition Bergevin Lane.

Being owners of a smaller winery includes responsibilities that aren't as glamorous as what they envisioned in their "dreams" but Amber and Annette will attest that they are doing what they love and love what they are doing. After all, there is lots of great wine to drink at the end of the day!

The winery officially opened its doors in May 2003; the winery is a 20,000 square foot "modern industrial" building located in downtown Walla Walla. Although BLV's production is 7300 cases, there is a capacity to produce over 22,000 cases of wine at the winery. To help with overhead costs, BLV also has a custom crush operation with two long term tennants.

The Bergevin family's roots run deep in Walla Walla, having settled in the area in the mid-1800's. With a respected family history in the community, passion, and a good amount of risk taking- Bergevin Lane Vineyards was born.

 

We hope you will join us for a wonderful evening of wine tasting with Bergevin Lane Vineyards. This is a very special event for us because Bergevin Lane will be sharing tastes of the very limited 2006 "Princess" Syrah. 100% of the grapes for the Princess Syrah come from Francisca's Vineyard in Walla Walla - which is owned, managed, and farmed by our dear friends, Cisca Van Heezik and Tim Rogan. We will be fortunate enough to have Tim and Cisca, as well as the Bergevin Lane ladies themselves, Amber and Annette, as our guests for this event to speak about their labour of love.

In addition to this very special wine, we will be tasting some other gems from the Bergevin Lane collection:
2007 Viognier - Columbia Valley
2005 Cabernet Sauvignon - Columbia Valley
2004 Oui Deux Syrah - Wahluke Slope
2005 Oui Deux Syrah - Wahluke Slope

We are very excited about this event - Damon is planning some very interesting (and fabulous) pairings for each of these wines. If you are planning to come, come hungry! We look forward to tasting with you.

Gustiamo!
