Wine Enthusiast Features the Latinx Winemakers of Oregon, Including Atticus Wine's Ximena Orrego
“Although Oregon is more than 2,000 miles from the U.S.-Mexico border, its Latinx population is booming. According to a 2016 OCF report, between 2000–16, the Latinx population in Oregon increased 72%. Comparatively, the Latinx population in the U.S. grew by 50% over the same period.
Orrego sees the festival as an opportunity to increase Latinx representation across all parts of the winemaking process, from working in the fields or cellar to the front of house.” - Mekita Rivas, Wine Enthusiast
