  • The Oompa-Loompa winemaker finished off his last press of 2019 today: Firebird Syrah. We will be offering futures on the 2018 Firebird Syrah during our Holiday Hornucopia open house celebration: Nov 23, 24, 29, 30 and Dec 1, noon to 4 pm. Cannot promise that winemaker Dave will be quite this dressed up for the occasion, however. #wvharvest2019 #wvthanksgiving #bellsupmoment . . . #wemakewine #makewine #winepress #willamettevalleywinecountry  #vino #winepoor #drinkwine #oregonpinot #chehalemmountainsava #oregonwinemaking #syrah #winemaker #winestagram #wine #wvwines #winelove  #winelover #exploreoregon  #instawine #newbergwinery  #oregonwine #oregonwinecountry  #oregonwinery #orwine #pdxwine #traveloregon #willamettevalley

  • Yesterday was a classic Winemaking Monday, with three key pieces of equipment failing for various reasons just when Dave was prepping to press off 3 fermenters of pinot. We had backups for two, but by the time Sara got the elevator back online, Dave had already slipped into everybody's favorite Oompa Loompa couture and accessorized with his trusty shovel. And he still managed to get everything wrapped up with 30 minutes of daylight to spare! #wvharvest2019 #winemaking #bellsupmoment . . . #wemakewine #timetomakethewine #willamettevalleywinecountry  #vino #winepoor #drinkwine #oregonpinot #chehalemmountainsava #oregonwinemaking #pinotnoir #winetank #winemaker #winestagram #wine #wvwines #winelove  #winelover #exploreoregon  #instawine #newbergwinery  #oregonwine #oregonwinecountry  #oregonwinery #orwine #winepress #willamettevalley #visitnewberg
  • How much more Syrah are we making in 2019? This much! (And it will still probably sell out in 4 months after we release it in 2021.) #wvharvest2019 #oregonsyrah #bellsupmoment . . . #willamettevalleywinecountry  #vino #winepoor #drinkwine #oregonpinot #chehalemmountains #oregonwinemaking #syrah #winetank #winemaker #winestagram #wemakewine #wine #wvwines #winelove  #winelover #exploreoregon  #instawine #newbergwinery  #oregonwine #oregonwinecountry  #oregonwinery #orwine #traveloregon #redredwine #willamettevalley #redwine
  • There's been a lot of shame in my social media game over the past couple of weeks. I blame harvest widowhood. Thank you SO MUCH @urbanblisslife for this beautiful photo and post! Good thing you love Oregon Pinot Noirs and PNW Syrahs, because that's what Dave was working on yesterday during #NationalRedWineDay!🍷 ....................................... ✨ Can’t beat the lovely view from the deck of the @bellsupwinery tasting room, great company, and sunshine. ✨ Pinot Noir, Syrah, Cab Franc, Cab Sauv, Tempranillo, Merlot, Malbec... so many luscious red wines, it’s hard to pick a fave. But Oregon Pinot Noirs will always be at the top of the list for me, along with PNW Syrahs. ✨ What are your fave red wines? Besides “the one in my glass”... 😉 • • • • #redredwine #redwine #winewriter #wineblog #wineblogger #oregonwine #pinotnoir #winecountry #winetasting #foodwinewomen #foodwinetravel #womenwholovewine #winelover #vineyard #vineyardviews #traveloregon #thatpnwlife #winery #syrah #oregonwinecountry #willamettevalley #raiseaglass #winephotography #wineglass #foodandwine #wvwines #gowinetasting #bellsupmoment
  • 18 years ago today we held hands and made it official. Not a single one of those years has been easy. Some have been harder than others... the past year ranked right up there on the "questioning the life choices" scale. But we're still holding hands and our marriage is now old enough to vote for at least another 18. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts to everyone who's had our backs for the last two decades. It takes a village to raise a marriage, and we're grateful for you all and for the tremendous support. #weddinganniversary #18years #bellsupmoment . . .

  • SYRAH! Yes, once again we are making more of it as we try to keep up with demand. We will have the 2018 on barrel sample futures at Thanksgiving open house weekends in a few weeks. #wvharvest2019 #syrah #bellsupmoment . . . . #syrahlover #oregonsyrah #willamettevalleywinecountry  #vino #winepoor #makewine #drinkwine #chehalemmountains #oregonwinemaking #winemaker #winestagram #wine #wvwines #winelove  #winelover  #instawine #newbergwinery  #oregonwine #oregonwinecountry  #oregonwinery #orwine #PNW #willamettevalley #timetomakethewine #wemakewine #winemaking #winegrower
  • If sorting wine grapes during harvest is on your bucket list, we'd love to help you cross it off. We need a few volunteers for tomorrow, Saturday October 5, starting at 10am to help us close out harvest. Message us or call the winery with any questions. Lunch and a t-shirt (assuming we still have your size) included! #wvharvest2019 #winemaking #bellsupmoment . .

  • September 2019 marked a huge year of milestones for us. 20 years together. 13 years after we made our first box of kit wine as a "cute, couple bonding activity" for our 5-year wedding anniversary. 11 years since Sara learned her mentor Kelly was dying of pancreatic cancer. 8 years after we put our Cincinnati home on the market after Dave won 2 amateur national winemaking competitions. 7 years after we found this property in Oregon. 6 years after we planted our first pinot vines. 1 year after we decided to go all in and build and equip our own on-site production facility. . . The lines on our faces are deeper. The under eye circles are darker. The bodies are WAY rounder. But the love and support we've received from friends old and new is why we're still smiling. We couldn't do it without you. We are super excited about being 100% at home now with the winemaking and can't wait to share our first ever estate pinot noir with you. It seems fitting that we are making that wine this year... where There's No Place Like Home. #wvharvest2019 #theresnoplacelikehome #bellsupmoment .
