More about Leah Jorgensen

Leah Jorgensen is a wine industry veteran whose career began in Washington, DC, selling imported wines to embassies, restaurants, and shops. She worked closely with esteemed wine importers on their Loire Valley portfolios and fell in love with the wines. In 2004, she moved to Oregon and worked on marketing and communications teams for wineries while studying enology at the Northwest Viticulture Center in Salem. She joined in at multiple wineries for harvests and cellar work while planning her own wines, which debuted with a 2011 vintage, just a barrel’s worth of Blanc de Cabernet Franc. That wine served as the foundation for Jorgensen’s winemaking—she now makes expressive interpretations of France’s Loire Valley wines with grapes carefully sourced from Oregon’s wine regions.
