About
Triple Oak Vineyard is located on a gentle southeast facing slope in the small historic community of Oakland, Oregon. It is tended by owner Betty Tamm and her husband Geoff Faraghan. Betty Tamm and her late husband Paul planted the vineyard in the year 2000 and began producing wine commercially with the 2005 vintage. Paul was the principal of Triple Oak Vineyard but after his passing in 2013 Betty has had to take over management. Paul was a research chemical engineer and a perfectionist. His engineer's careful attention to detail carried over to the vineyard and he nurtured the vines resulting in grapes with a reputation as a quality product. Just two weeks after Paul died his wines received their first major award; a gold medal for the 2010 Tempranillo at the 2013 Greatest of the Grape. This recognition was followed with the top platinum medal at the 2014 G of G for the 2011 Tempranillo. Betty is now trying to maintain that quality and sustain the excellence of the product. The 2014 Red Oak and 2015 Tempranillo have carried on the tradition with Gold Medals.
