In this very special live-recorded episode, Jessica visits Balanza Vineyard in the heart of Oregon’s Dundee Hills to sit down with Chaly and Kerry Balanza and hear the beautiful love story that became the foundation of their wine journey.
From their first meeting on a tennis court in Austin, Texas, to falling in love with Oregon Pinot Noir, and finally planting roots in wine country, Chaly and Kerry’s story is one of passion, risk-taking, and a deep devotion to creating community through wine, food, and hospitality.
You’ll hear how an impromptu vacation turned into a life-changing decision, what it was like to plant their very first vines in 2014, and how they transformed a rugged piece of farmland into the welcoming estate and boutique B&B that now hosts travelers from around the world.
Together, they share how their wines—Pinot Noir, Chardonnay, Rosé, and the playful Block Party Pinot—reflect not only the beauty of the Dundee Hills but also the adventurous spirit that brought them here.
This is a conversation about love, legacy, and the magic that happens when you take a leap of faith into the unknown
