After completing several harvests in Sonoma County, he journeyed to South Africa, where he swam with Great White sharks off the coast while making wine in Stellenbosch at Warwick Estate. Later he learned Spanish in the Bio–Bio Valley in Chile, while getting to know Chilean winemakers and the wonderful local culture. Matt next came home to the U.S. to work in upstate New York and Hunt County, aspiring to almost freeze to death making ice wine and delicious, crisp dry Rieslings. He then returned to California to a position at Stags Leap Winery in Napa Valley. Before moving to Oregon, he most recently worked at Clos Pegase for a few more years as associate winemaker and made various other Sonoma County brands on the side. Matt had always wanted to come to Oregon and finally made the leap in 2015. He loves producing world class wines at Lemelson Vineyards, honoring our commitment to terroir-driven, minimalist intervention winemaking using organically farmed fruit sourced from our estate vineyards. 1st Course Prosciutto & Melon with hot honey drizzle Pairing: Lemelson Vineyards Dry Riesling Willamette Valley 2nd Course Blackened Salmon with roasted corn, tomatoes and fresh basil Pairing; Lemelson Vineyards, White Pinot Noir Willamette Valley 3rd Course Wild Mushroom Pappardelle with truffle pecorino Pairing: Lemelson Vineyards, Theas Selection Pinot Noir Willamette Valley 4th Course Limoncello Tiramisu
