"Approachment is the West's opportunity to fuel their creative and experimental side together as winemakers but also as partners and best friends. They are excited to make energetic, creative, thought provoking, and approachable wines in limited production.
The journey of how Approachment was founded is quite the saga!
But here are the cliff notes...
Jessica started her wine path working in wine shops and tasting rooms.
After learning the sales portion of the business, Jessica acquired an internship in 2013 at Bethel Heights Vineyard working directly with Winemaker Ben Casteel and viticulture master Mimi Casteel.
Entranced by the crafting side of the business, Jessica then entered the NW Wine Studies program to earn her degree in Winemaking.
Paden grew up in the Willamette Valley and began his path in wine just as Jessica did- by working in wine shops and tasting rooms.
In 2010, Paden was offered an internship at Penner-Ash, managed by Winemaker Lynn Penner-Ash and Assistant Winemaker Brian Irvine. After finding his fire for the winemaking side of the business, Paden also enrolled in the NW Wine Studies program...
Where his lab partner turned out to be Jessica.
But the best is still to come
Approachment is now the continuation of each career path combined into a joint expression of Jessica and Paden’s combined talents, skill sets, palates, and creative outbursts."
