Our Team

Peter Adesman

Owner & CEO
peter@peterwilliamvineyard.com

I have had a great love for and been involved in wine since the mid 1970's, first as a consumer, then a collector, an educator, and finally with my own wines, Peter William Vineyard. My occupation is still that of a full-time physician. My avocation is and always will be working with wine.

My wife Robin & I planted Peter William Vineyard on the hillside below our home in 2013. We have just under 10 acres of vines. We started with Grenache, Syrah, Tempranillo, and Malbec. Recently, we grafted over a small portion of Grenache to Roussanne.

We also source grapes from our friends in the Rogue Valley. This includes Viognier and Chardonnay.

Robin Miller

Co-Owner

Robin enjoys wine and is thrilled to be living on a vineyard. She particularly loves the view over our vineyard & the Rogue Valley.

Her true passion is dancing.  Rather than working in the vineyard, she would be more likely to be seen dancing hip hop through it or dancing West Coast Swing in the wine tasting room overlooking it.

Robin enjoys coming up with fun ads and marketing ideas for our wines.

In addition to helping write some of the content for this website, Robin was instrumental in finding titles for some of the wines. She is especially proud of naming “Robin’s Red”

Vegas

Managing Director
Vineyard Dog
vegas@vineyarddog.spoof

Vegas is no ordinary vineyard dog. A Black German Shepherd, we rescued Vegas several  years ago. He is our constant companion.

Vegas has two main jobs at Peter William. His primary responsibility is to get underfoot whenever there is work to be done, especially when serious wine tasting is going on. His second responsibility is to chase away unwanted critters in the vineyard. Unfortunately, he too often seems to find a wily skunk that gets the better of him.

Seriously, Vegas is a never-ending source of companionship and entertainment. Encourage him, & he’ll start talking to you about any subject. You might not understand him…but perhaps you need to study German!

Fred Gold

Director of Marketing
fred@peterwilliamvineyard.com

Fred brings a wealth of experience, having worked in the industry since 1975, mostly in management for large wine distribution and importing companies. Fred has been a judge at prestigious competitions, including the San Francisco International Wine Competition. He has also served as a consultant for major cruise lines, restaurants, and luxury hotels.

Fred does much more than just marketing. Yes, He also maintains our website and oversees all Wine Club transactions. We could list more of Fred's responsibilities, but there is only so much space on this page!

We also count on Fred for help with blending our wines. Our winemakers keep us very involved, and throughout the process ask Peter & Fred to come taste from barrel, or help work on blends - so that the final product is in the style we prefer.

Ewald Moseler

Central & Northern Oregon Sales Manager
ewald@moseler.com

Ewald has been our friend and wine drinking companion for many years. Peter & Ewald have made several trips together to the wine regions of Germany, primarily in the Moselle, where Ewald grew up.

Here in the USA, Ewald spent many years as an importer and distributor of fine German and other wines. More recently, he has been a sales representative for one of the Willamette Valley’s highest rated wineries. Adding Peter William to his portfolio was a natural progression for Ewald, and for us.

Ewald handles the Central Northern half of Oregon, from Eugene, north to the greater Portland area.

Carmen & Jared Fuhriman

Marketing

Poor Carmen just can't seem to avoid Peter. By day, she's his Medical Assistant. She and her husband Jared are also invaluable members of the Peter William team. They help out at special events, pouring and helping to present and sell wine. When Peter cannot be around, they step in and act as ambassadors for Peter William Vineyard.

Mandy Capehart

Social Media & Blending Panel

Our good friend and associate Mandy is a valuable resource. In addition to being in charge of many of our social media posts, Mandy is our unofficial staff photographer. If you see a good picture on this website, there's a high probability it was taken by Mandy!

When she can, Mandy sits in on blending sessions with our winemakers, and she isn't to shy to pipe up and give her opinions.
