Ghost Hill Cellars
The Family ~
The quote from Robert Frost "The land was ours before we were the lands", represents for the Bayliss family the bonding of their souls with the land. The Bayliss' have been stewards to this corner of the Willamette Valley since 1906. Beautiful rolling hills made up of sedimentary Willakenzie soils are perfect for the propagation of the hard to grow, but very rewarding, Pinot Noir grapes. Our continued effort is to produce delicious and elegant wine from the grapes grown in our vineyard.
The Legend ~
In the early 1860s, Oregon was in the midst of a gold rush. An old military road that ran through what is now the Bayliss family farm stretched from southern Oregon to Portland. A miner that was traveling to Portland with his hard-earned “poke” of gold decided to camp for the night at the top of what is now known as Ghost Hill. During the night, someone snuck into his camp, killed the miner and his horse, and stole his gold. To this day, the miner is said to wander the hill looking for his stolen gold.
The Winemaker ~
Rebecca Pittock Shouldis departed from her career in aviation as a maintenance technician on the F-15 Fighter Aircraft for the Oregon Air National Guard to pursue her passion for wine in July of 2005. She has a busy and fulfilling life as Operations Manager for the Abbey Wine Warehouse and Northwest Wines to You, TSgt “Weekend Warrior”, Mom of two beautiful kids and of course Winemaker for Ghost Hill Cellars. If you can pin her down she loves to talk about not only the wines she currently produces and those of her clients and friends, but also the wines from all over the world that have impacted her life in so many ways.
The Wine ~
From Savannah Ridge in the prestigious Yamhill-Carlton District AVA of the Northern Willamette Valley comes Oregon's newest cult producer. This ultra small production of premium Pinot Noir from Ghost Hill Cellars is estate grown on the Bayliss-Bower Vineyard.
