Please join us for another Vintage Friday Night! Help us welcome Et Fille Wines tomorrow night.

Vintage Nights at the Gallery
Friday, August 21 • 4–7 PM

We’d love to have you join us this Friday for a special evening of Oregon wine, art and conversation at Mindpower Gallery.

This Week’s Story — Et Fille Wines

This week we welcome Et Fille Wines and five wines from the Willamette Valley.

Et Fille means “and daughter.” The winery grew from the shared passion of father and daughter Howard and Jessica Mozeico. Today, Jessica continues her father’s vision as owner and winemaker, carrying their family story into the next generation.

Curious about the wines? Friday nights are designed to discover the story behind the winery and learn a little more about what’s in your glass.

Meet the Artists — Dutch Mostert & Allen Thornton

Friday is also our special Meet the Artists Reception for the Classic Car Exhibit.

Meet Dutch Mostert, whose remarkably detailed paintings and authentic vintage hood-ornament sculptures celebrate the artistry and design of the automobile, and Allen Thornton, whose photography finds color, character and beauty in the forgotten machines of another era.

Their very different approaches make this an especially fun exhibition to explore—and Friday evening is an opportunity to meet both artists and talk with them about their work.

Looking forward to Brian Hynd pouring the wines for HillCrest Winery and Distillery tonight! Did you know that at our gallery's first anniversary event, Richard Sommers came to the Mindpower Gallery and poured the wines himself for our guests? Lots of great memories with HillCrest Winery and Distillery.

TONIGHT — TWO OREGON STORIES MEET AT THE GALLERY. 🍇🎨🚘

One began in an Umpqua Valley vineyard more than six decades ago.

The other is told through paint, photography, chrome, wood and the unmistakable lines of the classic automobile.

🍇 AUGUST 14TH STORY — HILLCREST VINEYARDS

Discover the story of Richard Sommer, whose pioneering work at HillCrest Winery helped establish Oregon's modern wine industry—and the DeMara family carrying that remarkable legacy forward today.

THE STORY BEGINS

🍇 Oregon Wine Has a Beginning. This Friday, We're Telling the Story.

Before Oregon became internationally known for wine, there was Richard Sommer.
In 1959, Sommer came to the Umpqua Valley with an idea many people thought simply wouldn't work. In 1961, he planted Vitis vinifera at HillCrest Vineyard—among the first post-Prohibition plantings that would help launch Oregon's modern wine industry.
He experimented with 34 grape varieties, including Pinot Noir, pioneered the use of stainless-steel tanks in Oregon, and helped prove that fine European wine grapes could thrive here.
His influence reached far beyond HillCrest. People who would become important names in Oregon wine passed through its doors and vineyards.
Today, the DeMara family carries that history forward, into another generation. We are looking forward to Brian coming and pouring these wonderful wines from the DeMara Family.

This Friday, our August 14th ‘Vintage Nights’ at the Gallery turns the page from last weeks Abacela to this weeks:

HILLCREST VINEYARDS

This is where Oregon Wine Begins

And because Vintage Nights is where Art Meets the Vine, we're opening something very special on the other page…

🌿 Vintage Nights at Mindpower Gallery
Where Art Meets the Vine

Tonight begins a new Friday evening tradition at Mindpower Gallery.

Over the coming weeks, we'll welcome some of Oregon's most remarkable vineyard families—not simply to showcase their wines, but to share the stories, history, and craftsmanship that have helped shape Oregon's wine culture.

Our first featured guest is Girardet Vineyard & Winery, one of Southern Oregon's pioneering vineyard estates.

When Philippe Girardet planted his first vines in 1971, he wasn't just starting a vineyard—he was helping build what would become the Umpqua Valley wine region. Raised among vineyards in Switzerland, he recognized something special in Southern Oregon's hillsides and became one of the early visionaries who believed world-class wines could be grown here.

The Girardet estate is still family-owned today. Their vineyard is dry-farmed, pesticide-free, and rooted in ancient marine soils formed millions of years ago—an environment that gives their wines a remarkable sense of place.

We'll also hear the story of Baco Noir, the rare grape Philippe introduced to Oregon more than fifty years ago. Today it's one of the Umpqua Valley's signature varietals, and Philippe's generosity in sharing vine cuttings earned him the nickname "The Johnny Appleseed of Baco Noir."

And if you've ever wondered why Girardet has a wine called Touchdown Red, ask Kristi about the day Marc Girardet safely landed his airplane on Interstate 5 after an engine failure—a remarkable story that became part of Oregon wine folklore.

We're delighted to welcome Kristi from Girardet this evening to share these stories, answer questions, and introduce guests to one of Oregon's longest-standing vineyard families.

Whether you enjoy history, agriculture, Oregon heritage, beautiful art, or simply learning something new, Vintage Nights are designed to celebrate the people and places behind our state's remarkable vineyards.

🕓 Tonight • 4–7 PM
📍 Mindpower Gallery
417 Fir Avenue • Historic Downtown Reedsport

Tonight is the first chapter in a Friday series featuring Girardet, Abacela, HillCrest, Hinman, Valcan, J. Scott, and Sweet Cheeks—each with its own story, its own people, and its own place in Oregon's wine history.

Come discover why every vineyard has a story worth telling.
