History

Established in 2007.

The dream

«The time has come,» the Walrus said,

«To talk of many things:

Of wine and food, of friend and foe,

And all else that this life brings.»

Apologies to Lewis Carroll.

We have been on a life path that has taken us from Iowa to California to New York to Michigan to Illinois to Washington and now Oregon. When Bruce turned 50. He asked for a plan on how we were going to spend the rest of our lives. Part of that list was to find a part of the world we enjoyed; move there; slow down and — the final item — find or build a business we could operate.

We loved the Northwest but the slowing down part did not happen. Susan was the CFO for a small company and Bruce was the Director of Biosts at a biotech company. The summer of 2006, after the loss of two siblings, we started looking into the slowing down part. We found a place to do that. For several reasons we settled on Western Oregon Wine Country and in June of 2007 we purchased the property now known as Brookside Inn
