podcast· 55:46· S9E6Season 9 - Episode 10 - Bethel Heights
Some wine stories begin with a bottle. This one begins with a family, an abandoned walnut orchard, and a leap of faith in the Eola Hills. On this episode of Wine Crush Podcast, Heidi sits down with Ben Casteel, second-generation winemaker, co-owner and director of Bethel Heights Vineyard, for a conversation about family, legacy, Oregon wine and the land that has shaped it all. Bethel Heights began in 1977, when the Casteel and Dudley families discovered an abandoned walnut orchard in what is now the Eola-Amity Hills AVA. They planted their first vines between 1977 and 1979 and released their first commercial vintage in 1984, becoming part of the pioneering generation that helped establish the Willamette Valley as a world-class wine region. Ben literally grew up among those vines, spending summers working in the vineyard with his family. Wine wasn’t originally his career plan. He headed to the University of Oregon intending to pursue English literature, but a 1999 harvest in Burgundy ch

Sojourn Cellars Vertical Tasting
Sojourn Cellars makes some incredible, cellar-worthy Pinots and Chards. Last Saturday I descended upon Sojourn Cellars in downtown Sonoma. It had been several years since I made my visit to taste some of the outstanding Pinots and Chards from this region. Sojourn Celalrs is under new ownership and we talked about the approach to wines. The wines have been remarkably consistent and they show terrific aging potential. The winery dates back to 2001 when two tennis friends–Craig Haserot and Erich Bradley–who shared a passion for two things: great wine and tennis. With Erich’s experience as an Assistant Winemaker at Arrowood Winery, the two developed a plan to produce small bottlings of Cabernet Sauvignon from outstanding vineyard sources. They began with a hundred cases of Cabernet Sauvignon that they sold to friends and family. Today they produce more than different wines and have customers worldwide. It was fun to see how these age and I was enamored by the 2021 ‘Sangiacomo’ Pinot Noir (

Whitman Hill
Great photo of the Whitman Hill vineyard. Today we share a newer producer from the Yakima Valley. Whitman Hill Vineyard sits at 1,200 feet on the south- and east-facing slopes above the Yakima Valley, where steady air movement, balanced sun exposure, and a natural cold-air drain create ideal conditions for even ripening and vineyard health. Beneath the surface, layers of sandy loam and fragments of caliche—a pale, porous rock unique to this area. Before establishing Whitman Hill, Scott and Denise Whitman co-owned a winery on Washington’s west side, sourcing grapes from the Yakima Valley and becoming deeply connected to the quality and character of its fruit. Their first wines for that project were made humbly in their garage. In 2020 the had the chance to acquire property in Zillah, which became Whitman Hill. New wines were really good. I love the 2024 Whitman Hill Chardonnay (OB, 91) which is neatly textured stuff with good richness. Learn more about this project at https://whitmanhil

Tsillan Cellars
Here are the outstanding new wines by Tsillan Cellars. It is my pleasure to share a really good producer in the Lake Chelan AVA. This scenic location has a beautiful setting with plenty of outdoor seating. The 127 acre estate is Chelan’s largest planted vineyard. They make an exceedingly long range of wines from Chardonnay to Syrah from this estate. Italian varietals are also planted at the estate vineyard. Garrett Grubbs has been making great wines for Tsillan and joined the team in 2021. It is exceedingly difficult to grow many of these estate varietals in the heat that is accumulated in Lake Chelan. Grubbs did an excellent job with this lineup. I really love the 2023 Tsillan Cellars ‘Estate’ Malbec (OB, 91) which powerful and has great varietal character.

videoArne Bercher Explains German Wine, Kaiserstuhl Loess Soils and Flurbereinigung
In this interview, I speak with Arne Bercher of Weingut Bercher in Burkheim, Kaiserstuhl, one of Germany’s most distinctive wine regions. Arne explains the history of his 10th-generation family estate, the importance of Pinot Noir, Pinot Gris and Pinot Blanc in Kaiserstuhl, and why the region’s volcanic landscape and loess soils are so important for wine quality. The main focus of our discussion is Flurbereinigung — vineyard reorganisation — and how it has shaped the vineyards of Kaiserstuhl. Arne explains how land fragmentation developed through inheritance laws, why vineyard plots were reorganised, and how older approaches to terracing and bulldozing affected the natural structure of loess soils. This is a fascinating discussion for anyone interested in German wine, Kaiserstuhl terroir, VDP producers, vineyard management, loess soils, Pinot Noir, and the relationship between winegrowing, landscape and sustainability.
