Entrepreneurs Dick Oppenheimer and Corey T. Nyman have partnered to launch Labor Wines, a boutique Oregon winery. As their first venture under Labor Wines, Oppenheimer and Nyman have announced a 2009 Pinot Noir from the Willamette Valley to serve as the inaugural wine.
“We are thrilled to introduce everyone to Labor Wines and couldn’t be prouder of our 2009 Pinot Noir to be the first born in our venture into a wonderful partnership and entry into this industry we both have a deep passion for,” said Labor Wines Partner, Corey T. Nyman.
With grapes sourced from the Yamhill-Carlton District and Chehalem Mountains, the 100% Oregon Pinot Noir is robust with flavors of black cherry, a hint of smoke as well as light toast from first and second year oak barrels. Best served with a slight chill to bring out the true flavor profile, Labor Wines Pinot Noir is a great complement to any meal or simply to enjoy by the glass.
Total production for the first vintage will be limited to 280 cases with initial distribution in Arizona, Nevada, Texas and Florida before expansion to additional states. In Arizona, Labor Wines will be distributed by Valley of the Sun Fine Wines and available initially at acclaimed restaurants Cowboy Ciao , FnB and Beckett’s Table. In Las Vegas, Nevada, Bird Dog Wine Broker will distribute Labor Wines where it will be readily available at a handful of establishments including NOVE Italiano , Herbs & Rye , Marche Bacchus and Vintner Grill.
Labor Wines was birthed from both Oppenheimer and Nyman having a sincere passion for wine and to turn this enthusiasm into their own product for friends and family to enjoy. The name stems from their belief that hard work pays off and is embodied in the Labor Wines credo: Everything takes Labor to accomplish. Without Labor, there would be no end result and no satisfaction. Labor is the driving force throughout history of how to get things done. From Labor is the idea that hard work presents rewards and what better way to embrace that vision – from our hands to yours.
The Labor Wines portfolio will continue to grow in the coming years with a 2010 Pinot Noir already in production. For the latest updates and to keep up with where you can enjoy Labor Wines, connect through Facebook and Twitter and by visiting www.LaborWines.com or by calling 855-503-WINE(9463).
