Abstract

Andrew and Annedria Beckham are the owners of Beckham Estate Vineyard in Sherwood, Oregon, where Andrew is the winemaker. Unique to Beckham Estate Vineyard, Andrew Beckham blends his two passions, wine and art, by making his own amphorae. Amphorae are terra cotta vessels used to store wine while it ages, an ancient tradition of winemaking thought to originate in the Republic of Georgia.

This interview takes place at Union Wine Co. in Tualatin, Oregon, where Beckham stores and makes his wine. In this interview, Beckham discusses his experiences using amphorae.
