  	Citation × Citation Citation Abstract Copy Title: Joe Ginet of Plaisance Ranch Author: MJ Daspit; Eric Weisinger, Plaisance Ranch (Or.) It has taken three generations of “Joseph Ginets” to make one adventurous Frenchman’s American dream come true. In 1890, the first Joseph Ginet left his home in the French Alps to see the world. The Ginet family owned vineyards, which the region is famous for. Once in America, he worked his way across the country looking for a suitable region to start his own vineyard. In 1898, Joseph Ginet found a neglected orchard outside the town of Jacksonville, Oregon on Sterling Creek. He salvaged the trees and established himself in his new home. In 1904, he returned to Savoie and brought back grape cuttings. Joseph made wine and sold fruit and grape plants. He named his business "Plaisance Orchard." Today, the third generation of Ginets is making wine once again. Joseph Ginet’s grandson, Joe, and his wife Suzi, have imported plants from the family vineyards in St. Jean de la Porte, and UC Davis, and are fulfilling Joseph’s dream in America. Joseph Ginet is again making wine and offering plants for sale from Plaisance Ranch, "with great pleasure."

Wooldridge Creek Winery, in the heart of the Applegate River Valley, was founded by Ted and Mary Warrick in 1978. Wooldridge Creek is named after the family who settled the property in the 1850s. For several years, grapes from the vineyard were sold almost entirely to wineries around the state, with only a small amount being made into custom wine under the Wooldridge Creek label. In 2002, the Warricks partnered with winemakers Greg Paneitz and Kara Olmo to create Wooldridge Creek Winery. The vineyard now includes about 56 acres planted in twelve varieties. The winery produces 3,000 cases per year of premium varietal wines and unique blends. (Jan. 2014) Title: Wooldridge Creek Winery Author: MJ Daspit; Eric Weisinger, Wooldridge Creek Winery (Or.)
