Abstract

This interview is an oral history conducted by Linfield College archivist Rich Schmidt with Harry Peterson-Nedry of Chehalem Winery. The interview took place at Chehalem Winery in Newberg, Oregon on August 30, 2017.

Harry Peterson-Nedry is the founder of Chehalem Winery and Ribbon Ridge Winery. In this interview, part of the Brooks Winery 20th Anniversary Project, Peterson-Nedry discusses the unexpected passing of Jimi Brooks, the founder of Brooks Winery, in September of 2004. Many of Brooks's wine industry friends, including Peterson-Nedry, came together to complete Brooks's harvest that year. This interview sheds light on the story of camaraderie in the face of tragedy in the Oregon wine industry.
