Elixir Wine Co. / Ermisch Cellars
About the winery
Elixir Wine Co and Ermisch Cellars produces several wines including Ermisch Pinot Noir and Chardonnay from Willamette Valley which are Live Certified at our new micro-winery in Bend, Oregon. Ermisch travels to Argentina for part of each year to oversee harvest operations at company owned Bodega Calle and to keep in contact with all our suppliers in South America. He also travels to Europe each year with the same purpose. In this way, we continue to bring the best wines to our wholesale partners and customers throughout the United States. The company imports to and distributes its New World portfolio from Napa, California, its European portfolio from New Jersey and bases its operations in beautiful Bend, Oregon. Our wines are distributed all across the entire USA. If you are having trouble finding our wines in your area, please contact us.

- News2012: Looking towards the end of the world
Something about 2012. Is it just me or are things so much more ominous this year? As I sit in Bodega Calle with a bottle of Ca de Calle nearby, I contemplate on the few short days since my arrival this harvest season. A couple weeks before my arrival, one winery employee leaves after 10 years with us, dissatisfied that he is no longer the only “key” employee in the company, that he in short has to respect reporting requirements on inventory movements, while at the same time he leaves under vague staff accusations that he may have stolen a pallet of Torrontés from a shipment made to a nearby cold storage facility.

- NewsIn Support of Diversity!
On this day ahead of the election, I wanted to make a statement about diversity. I have devoted a good deal of time towards the study of this subject. I have made it a cornerstone of my thinking for as long as I have been in business and I think that it has been something that has given back in an exponential way for every dollar that I have ever invested.
