Off Script With Trish Glose

Hang on folks, it's a bouncy one. Trish interviews Erich Berg, founder and winemaker of Ricochet Wine Company. Erich is from the East Coast and first learned about wine when he got a job in a fine dining restaurant after college. In 2004, he decided to move to Oregon to work a harvest at Domaine Serene, and loved it, but a hip surgery a few years in put some plans at a standstill. This is where Erich's story gets a little bouncy because he decided to completely change his path, his job, etc. He's a teacher at heart, but explains he simply couldn't leave the vineyard and winemaking behind. He talks about his winemaking philosophy, where the name Ricochet comes from, and why it's more than just a label on a bottle.
