The Oregon Wine History Archive Podcast

This interview is with Antonio Verduzco of Soter Vineyards. In this interview, Antonio speaks about growing up in Michoacán, Mexico and coming to Oregon as a child. After high school, he found that work in the vineyards reminded him of his grandparents' farm growing up, and he worked hard to master all the skills needed.

He also speaks about how he came to Soter, and the projects he's worked on there, as well as the growth of the property and vineyards. 

This interview was conducted by Rich Schmidt at Soter Vineyards in Carlton on June 21, 2023.

What is The Oregon Wine History Archive Podcast?

The Oregon Wine History Archive at Linfield University was created to collect, preserve, share, and continue the narrative of Oregon wine.

The growth of the Oregon wine industry extends from the farmers and winemakers to the marketers, scientists, innovators, and dreamers of the enterprise — all of whom are vital to the industry’s success. It is our aim to link the past, present, and future of the industry in hopes of sharing the story of Oregon wine.

Some oral history interviews are conducted on site and may contain background noise from nature, winery, or tasting room operations.
