AUGUST 2007: DISPATCHES
CARLTON
Engineer Kevin Green and winery-equipment supplier Bruce Felix
met in a wine-making class, but more than just a few bottles of
wine emerged. Seeing a gap in Oregon’s expanding wine
market, they created Pacific
Wineries, a “one-stop shop” for winery
construction, expansion or renovation. The venture is a
partnership between Green’s company, Evergreen Engineering in Hillsboro;
Felix’s company, Pacific
Winemaking in Carlton; and Felix’s former employer
from time overseas, Wineries
by Design, an Australian company. Pacific Wineries
handles the entire process from design to construction to
equipping the winery. The partnership, announced in June, has
already landed a design project for Seufert Winery in the
Willamette Valley.
