    Taking the Leap, Oregon Pinot Noir & Building a Dream Wine Business

    Send us Fan Mail What happens when a lifelong winemaker finally gets the chance to own the vineyard he's always dreamed of? In this episode of The Realtor Who Wines, Rashelle Newmyer sits down with Aaron Bell, Owner and Winemaker of RH Estate Wines at Red Hawk Vineyard in Oregon's Eola-Amity Hills, for an inspiring conversation about taking risks, following your passion, and crafting exceptional Oregon wines. After more than 25 years in the Oregon wine industry, including nearly 27 vintages with one of Burgundy, France's most respected winemaking families, Aaron and his partner, Tracy Rogers, made the life-changing decision to purchase the nearly 50-year-old Red Hawk Vineyard and begin a new chapter as vineyard owners. Their story is one of courage, timing, and pushing "all the chips into the middle of the table." 🍷 From Philosophy Major to Oregon Winemaker Aaron never planned on becoming a winemaker. While working at a steakhouse in Scottsdale, Arizona, Arron attended a blind wine tasting featuring an Oregon Pinot Noir that changed everything. Inspired by the wines being produced just miles from his hometown of Newberg, Aaron packed up, moved back to Oregon, and immersed himself in the wine industry. What started in hospitality soon led to the cellar, where mentorship, curiosity, and years of hands-on experience shaped his philosophy of winemaking. "Winemaking is an art first. Science is there when you need it."🍇 Why Old Vines Matter One highlight of this conversation is Aaron's passion for mature vineyards. RH Estate Wines is home to vines planted as early as 1978, making them among the oldest-producing Pinot Noir vines in Oregon. Aaron explains: Why older vines create more consistent winesHow vineyard age impacts complexity and flavorThe importance of terroir and site expressionWhy the Eola-Amity Hills AVA produces world-class Pinot NoirHow the Van Duzer winds naturally cool the vineyards and help create balanced, elegant winesIf you've ever wondered why some wines taste so unique, this conversation offers a fascinating look into the relationship between climate, soil, and vine age. 🏡 Building More Than a Winery When Aaron and Tracy purchased the property, they weren't just buying a vineyard; they were creating a lifestyle. Together they've: Reimagined the Red Hawk brand as RH Estate WinesPreserved the vineyard's history while modernizing its identityAdded a beautiful on-site Airbnb overlooking the vinesContinued community events, wine club experiences, and live musicCreated a welcoming destination that's family-friendly, dog-friendly, and rooted in hospitalityTheir philosophy is simple: Serious Wines. Fun Times. 🤝 Community Over Competition One of the recurring themes throughout the episode is collaboration. Aaron shares how Oregon's wine industry is built on relationships, where neighboring wineries support one another, share equipment, and celebrate each other's successes. That same spirit extends into RH Estate Wines through local partnerships, wine club events, harvest celebrations, and community-focused gatherings that make guests feel like family. 🌿 The Leap of Faith Perhaps the most inspiring moment of the episode comes when Aaron reflects on taking the biggest risk of his career. Leaving the security of a long-established winery to purchase his own vineyard wasn't easy, but it was worth it. "If you're going to go... go. You have to be willing to take the leap."For anyone dreaming of starting a business, changing careers, or pursuing something bigger, Aaron's story is a reminder that growth often begins on the other side of fear. 🔥 Why You Should Listen If you love: Oregon wine and Pinot NoirWillamette Valley wineriesEntrepreneurshipSmall business ownershipVineyard lifeWinemakingHospitalityStories of taking bold risks...this episode is for you. Pour yourself a glass, settle in, and join us for a conversation about Oregon wine, old vines, community, and having the courage to chase your dream. Cheers!  Thank you for listening!

    From Hobby to Heritage Farming | Meat Craftsmanship, Community & Food Education

    Send us Fan Mail What if one unexpected decision changed the way you think about food forever? In this episode of The Realtor Who Wines, Rashelle Newmyer sits down with Nick Clark, owner of Mountain View Heritage, farmer, educator, and self-described "aspiring meatsmith," for a fascinating conversation about heritage pigs, traditional butchery, food preservation, sustainable farming, and building community through food. What began during the COVID lockdowns as a desire to raise a few animals on a beautiful piece of Oregon property quickly evolved into a passion for understanding the entire journey from farm to table. 🐖 What Is a Meatsmith? Most people know what a butcher is, but a meatsmith takes things a step further. Nick explains how a meatsmith is involved in every stage of the process: Raising the animalCaring for the animalHarvesting the animalButchering the meatCuring and preservingCooking and sharing it with othersFor Nick, it's about developing a deeper connection to food, honoring the animal, and understanding exactly where your meals come from. "You're invested in the whole process from the animal all the way to dinner."🥓 Heritage Pigs, Better Flavor & Breaking Food Myths Throughout the conversation, Nick shares why he chose Berkshire pigs, how heritage breeds differ from commercial livestock, and why slower growth often results in better flavor and quality. Listeners will learn: Why are some pigs raised for bacon while others are prized for marblingThe difference between heritage and commercial breedsWhy older animals aren't necessarily tougherCommon misconceptions about porkHow proper farming practices impact flavorOne surprising takeaway? Some of Nick's favorite pigs aren't harvested until they're several years old. 🔪 The Lost Art of Traditional Butchery Nick opens up about traveling across the country to learn from one of the few programs teaching the complete farm-to-table process. That education eventually inspired him to create classes and workshops at Mountain View Heritage, where guests can learn: Sausage makingCuring meatsWhole-animal butcheryCharcuterie techniquesTraditional food preservation methodsHis goal isn't just to teach skills; it's to help people reconnect with food and gain confidence in the kitchen. 🧂 The Magic of Cured Meats Ever wondered how prosciutto can age for years and still be safe to eat? Nick explains: The science behind curingWhy salt mattersThe difference between fresh and cured meatsHow traditional preservation methods have been used for centuriesWhy proper technique changes everythingSome of the meats hanging in his curing room have been aging for more than two years. 🤝 Food, Community & Bringing People Together One of the most inspiring themes of this episode is community. For Nick, the goal was never simply to raise livestock; it was to create opportunities for people to gather, learn, share meals, and reconnect with skills that previous generations considered common knowledge. Whether it's a sausage-making class, charcuterie workshop, tasting event, or whole-animal butchery course, every experience is designed to bring people together around food. 🌱 What's Next for Mountain View Heritage? Nick shares his future plans, including: Expanding into sheepHosting more tasting eventsCreating food and beverage pairingsTeaching additional preservation techniquesContinuing to build a community centered around food education🔥 Why You Should Listen If you love: Farm-to-table foodHeritage farmingCharcuterie and cured meatsSustainable agricultureHomesteadingFood educationOregon farmsEntrepreneurship and craftsmanshipThis episode is packed with practical knowledge, fascinating stories, and a fresh perspective on where our food comes from.

    Access to Justice - The Truth About Personal Injury & Advocacy Beyond Lawsuits

    Send us Fan Mail What happens when life takes an unexpected turn, a car crash, a medical mistake, a catastrophic injury, or legal uncertainty, and you suddenly realize how little most people actually know about protecting themselves? In this episode of The Realtor Who Wines, Rashelle Newmyer sits down with Kay Teague, an Oregon and Washington trial attorney, for an incredibly practical conversation about personal injury law, medical negligence, insurance protection, legal myths, and what real advocacy looks like when people are navigating some of life’s hardest moments.  ⚖️ Personal Injury Is About More Than Lawsuits Kay shares how personal injury law often means helping people solve overwhelming problems after accidents, medical issues, or catastrophic injuries. “I get to play detective… investigate what happened and put the puzzle pieces together.”This episode explores:  Car crashes and catastrophic injuries  Medical negligence  Free consultations  Contingency fees  How lawsuits often help bring real resolution  Why attorneys can help even when there isn’t a case “The only line of defense you have is a lawyer.”🩺 Medical Negligence & Asking Better Questions Kay breaks down when people should trust their instincts, ask more questions, and seek legal or medical clarity if something feels wrong. She also explains that many people don’t realize personal injury attorneys often offer free consultations and can even help point clients toward better providers or resources. 🤝 Choosing the Right Attorney Not every attorney or law office is the right fit. Kay emphasizes why communication, trust, respect, and responsiveness matter just as much as credentials. “Do they make you feel respected? Do you feel like you can trust them?”🚗 Insurance Myths That Could Cost You One of the biggest takeaways: many families are underinsured. Kay shares why uninsured/underinsured motorist coverage, Personal Injury Protection (PIP), and strong policy limits matter because you cannot assume the person who harms you has enough coverage. “You need to have your own protection in place.”👩‍⚖️ Women in Law, Leadership & Advocacy Kay also shares why she invests in mentorship, Oregon Women Lawyers, pro bono work, and creating stronger pathways for women and marginalized communities in law. 🔥 Why You Should Listen If you’re:  A homeowner, parent, or driver  Curious about personal injury or medical negligence  Unsure if your insurance truly protects you  Interested in advocacy, leadership, or justice This episode is packed with practical, empowering information that could help you better protect yourself and your family.
