A current online headline reads: “How Brianne Day Is Leading the Next Generation of Natural Oregon Winemakers.” That pretty much says it all, no? Brianne Day bottled her first vintage of Pinot Noir in spring of 2013; there followed a fortuitous encounter with a couple willing to provide financial backing (without even tasting her wine) and by the following year she had gone from making 450 cases of wine to 2500. And her reputation has risen commensurately. But before that Brianne had worked in many facets of the wine business, including harvest and winery work in Burgundy, the Willamette Valley, and Argentina. The back story explains the “Lemonade” name (as in “when life hands you lemons”): Day had contracts to buy 25 tons of Pinot from two vineyards in the Chehalem Mountains; when wildfires broke out near the vineyards Day chose to honor her contracts but used the grapes to make rosé instead of a full-blown red, making the wine off the skins to minimize any smoke effect. The wine has aromas and flavors of strawberries and grapefruit, with a bright flinty finish.
