I worked my first harvests in the Willamette Valley during sommelier training in 2009 and 2010. I traveled in 2011 for harvests in Central Otago and the Santa Cruz Mountains before returning to the Willamette Valley for my third harvest in one year. In 2012, I worked harvest in Meursault at Domaine de Montille. I returned to de Montille in the fall of 2013 to focus on Chardonnay. In Meursault, I discovered the blueprint for my life’s great work in the Willamette Valley. I am the first winemaker in Oregon 100% focused on Willamette Valley Chardonnay. Sincerity and reverence guide me. Each fall, I begin again, grateful for the harvest. Each winter, I attend to the wines. Each spring, I bottle. Each summer, I host. Morgen Long is named after my family. -Seth Morgen Long
