Ted and Mari Gerber bought acreage in remote Illinois Valley (Rogue Valley in Southern Oregon) in 1971, then planted grapevines in 1974, including one of the oldest Gewürztraminer vineyards in Oregon. The elevation of the vineyard is 1500 feet, making them Oregon’s highest altitude producer.  They specialize in Alsatian varietals.  (Yes, Pinot Noir is an Alsatian varietal.)  Along with his second wife Terri and daughter Alicia, Mr. Gerber still runs Foris Vineyards. In 1989, Ted planted eight acres of Dijon Clone Pinot Noir and Chardonnay, then sold many of the vines to wineries in California, helping to establish the Dijon clone in the U.S.  Aged in stainless steel.  Strawberry, watermelon, honeydew, pomelo.
