What’s Been Happening at TeSoAria?

On June 4, 2018, the Circuit Court of the State of Oregon for Douglas County appointed R K Short & Associates, Inc., as the Receiver for TeSoAria Vineyard & Winery, LLC.

One of the Receiver’s responsibilities included taking possession of all of TeSoAria’s assets, including all bottled wine and unfinished wine in tanks and barrels.

Immediately after being appointed, the Receiver hired Linda Buckle, TeSoAria’s former co-winemaker to test and finish all of TeSoAria’s bulk wine in vats and barrels and bottle the finished wine.

Linda has a degree in Viticulture & Enology from UCC. She joined TeSoAria in 2009 when the company was known as Palotai. During her career at TeSoAria, Linda became the assistant winemaker and then the co-winemaker with John Olson during the period when TeSoAria was winning numerous awards for the quality of their wines.

In July 2016, Linda left TeSoAria to start her own winemaking consulting company, Linda Buckle, LLC. After starting her company, Linda continued to consult with TeSoAria and winemaker John Olson on the production of TeSoAria’s wines until September 2017.

In June 2019, thanks to the wine making knowledge and skills of Linda and her team members, the Receiver was able to finish and bottle 16,141 gallons of wine. The new wines totaled 6,788 cases of wine or 81,456 individual bottles of wine!

What’s even more exciting is that members of the wine industry who have tasted the new wines believe they meet or exceed the standard of quality set by TeSoAria in past years.
