Boyd started in the wine industry in 1989 after graduating from Kansas State University. He was hired into the top rated Management Training Program for the E & J Gallo Winery and began his career in Denver, Colorado. This renowned industry training program gave him the opportunity to receive in-depth knowledge of both the business and production side of the wine industry.
In addition he gained experience working in various markets around the country and exposure to some of the greatest minds in the wine business as well as being certified as a specialist in wine (CSW). In 1995, Boyd and Cassandra were relocated to the Oregon market to focus on supplier relationships for the Gallo Winery.

This is a must stop if you want to experience the essence of a small Willamette Valley winery. This has it all - unique and great tasting wines, intimate setting, great stories, decorated family history and a knowledgeable and skilled winemaker. Boyd embodies the hard working, passionate and personable proprietor and does a great job of hosting private visits. We fully enjoyed our time with him and are eagerly awaiting delivery of the 6 bottles we purchased. We will visit again and you should too.

My wife and I went to the winery a few weeks ago with my daughter and her husband and my ex-wife, as part of a larger tour of 4 wineries. The property was pretty. We were taken to the Montana tasting room which was quaint and gorgeous. We had a tasting of 4 wines with a pairing of food for each. The owners were incredibly down-to-earth, friendly and knowledgeable and the wine was AMAZING, especially the Pinot Rose! Boyd made some delicious smoked briquette and Cassandra made a wonderful Cabernet Chocolate Truffle ball.
As a bonus, we got to hear the story of their Hollywood room which was quite

This is a MUST do winery tasting! The owners were so wonderful explaining their wines, how they were made and where the grapes come from. Jeff was also so helpful explaining the differences in the various wines. The wines were all excellent and so many choices. The tasting includes 4 excellent wines and all delicious. The cheese and meat board was great and the truffles were amazing. So very happy we were told about this winery as it’s a hidden gem. True craftsmanship! Make a reservation to visit as space is limited though.

Natalie's is second to none when it comes to big bold reds! We have been members for just over a year and look forward to each shipment and each visit. We recently did the barrel tasting with Jeff and he was incredibly knowledgeable and shared that expertise as we learned how wines tasted at different stages before bottling. If you are looking for somewhere a little more private and with a ton of soul (and great wine!) look no further!

If you like big reds, Natalie’s is a stop you shouldn’t miss. We went on a vineyard walk with Boyd, which turned into a crash course on how to care for the vines. We then went to the tasting room where we tried great wines paired with meats and cheeses. Boyd was an amazing host, you’ll likely leave with a couple of bottles, more knowledge, and feeling like you just left a friend’s house.
