Abstract

This interview is an oral history conducted by Linfield College archivist Rich Schmidt with Bree Stock of the Oregon Wine Board (OWB). The interview took place at the Jereld R. Nicholson Library at Linfield College on May 29, 2019.

Bree Stock is Education Manager for the Oregon Wine Board, having joined OWB in 2017 after spending 9 years as an independent wine industry management consultant. In this interview, Stock talks about how she got into the wine industry through hospitality, as well as her education that “happened naturally as a way to understand where wine came from.” She speaks of the journey that led her to where she is now as a sommelier living in Oregon. Stock then discusses what it’s like judging wine, her experience as a woman in a male-dominated industry, and what she sees for the future of the Oregon wine industry.
