Abstract

This interview is an oral history conducted by Linfield College Archives staff Stephanie Hofmann with Josh Bergström of Bergström Wines. The interview took place at Bergström Wines in Newberg, Oregon on April 23, 2018.

Josh Bergström is the owner and winemaker at Bergström Wines. In this interview, part of the Brooks Winery 20th Anniversary Project, Bergström discusses the unexpected passing of Jimi Brooks, the founder of Brooks Winery, in September of 2004. Many of Brooks's wine industry friends, including Bergström, 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.
