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!
