Bertony Faustin
A Local Story Conversation
For me, what's more important about being the first is making sure I'm not the last.
Local Story Conversation with Bertony Faustin, Oregon’s first Black winemaker and owner of Abbey Creek Vineyard in Washington County. This live conversation took place on February 22, 2018 while Five Oaks Museum was known by its former name, Washington County Museum.
Original event description:
