“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 a third harvest in one year. In 2012, I worked harvest in Meursault at Domaine de Montille. I returned to Meursault in the fall of 2013, to focus on Chardonnay at de Montille, and I discovered a blueprint for my life’s great work: Willamette Valley Chardonnay.

I founded Morgen Long in 2014 to produce white wines that are liquid almanacs of grape, time and place, with aromatic intensity, depth of flavor, vibrant natural acidity, and an abundance of texture and extract.

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. ”
