- winetruth - 03-24-2012
I came across this blog to help the general public on the false practices of wines and wineries.
"Winetruthnews":http://winetruthnews.wordpress.com/2012/03/10/beacon-hill-winery/
It seems these days that there is a rash of winery owners that delve into the areas of deception in order to turn a profit. The people who suffer from these deceptive practices are not just other business of pass through but the final retail purchases of the people. The people get duped by these so-called wine making experts.
One of the current experts is a winery out of Oregon called Beacon Hill Winery http://www.beaconhillwinery.com/ they present a wonderful website with how great the winery is and they grow only the best grapes for the production of their wines.
The only problem is there is no winery there!
It seems that these owners of the name only and the left over production of Beacon Hill have sold the property and the entire vineyard and winery is gone.Completely stripped of its vineyard and facility however its being sold like its still producing.
That’s right they can tell you anything and promote anything and they are not held accountable for their actions.
This is all for a profit against an unassuming public of wine consumers. So why not support a wine that is being honest and truthful with you. There are plenty out there.
Why by a wine just to turn a profit for a company that has done an acquisition and is not a winemaker.

I don't know what your agenda is but I satelite googled Beacon Hill winery's address and there is an estate with rows of grape vines. Tony Soter bought the property in 2005 WITH THE NAME, so what's your issue?

Go git him In-spec-i-tor! Seems like there be more windshields than bugs on our wonderful website lately. ( By the way Michael you don't seem to have the experience or knowledge to attack someone as prominate as Mr. Soter) WW

Tony Soter does not own the property. Razvan and Felicia bought the property in 2005 along with a group of investors that now just take the wine and sale it, plus it no longer has operating winery to make the wine. Its off the winery and a 3rd party makes it with no use of the winery. The point is the article is right its a scam.

No offense, winetruth, but I found it a little difficult to follow your points because your use of English is a bit unconventional. At any rate, if what you say is true, then Beacon Hill Winery is in violation of US federal statutes, and would have been penalized by the US Government by now. All their data relative to their wine production, from grape growing to wine fermentation to bottling states that what you buy from them is ESTATE grown, ESTATE produced and ESTATE bottled. To make it easier for you to understand this concept, let me expand on my statements. If you own a winery, and you advertise that your wine is estate grown, produced and bottled, the federal government can, and probably will, fine you heavily and revoke any licenses you hold if those statements are untrue. So, if I understand your ramblings, Beacon Hill Winery does NOT have a working winery on the estate, and are in violation of federal statutes, and apparently have been so since 2005. Balderdash, sir!! If you want your assertions to be believed, then you had best come up with some verifiable, concrete evidence of wrongdoing. Otherwise, peddle your halfbaked ideas elsewhere.
