Biography on Alex Sokol Blosser: Alex Sokol Blosser, son of Sokol Blosser’s founders, Susan Sokol Blosser and Bill Blosser, grew up working in the family vineyards and winery. After starting college in Texas, he realized his heart lay back on the family farm, so he returned to Oregon to finish his college degree and acquire more wine industry experience. In 1998, after working in neighbouring vineyards and with a Portland wine wholesaler, Alex started full time at Sokol Blosser, simultaneously working for the president, his mother, Susan, while earning his MBA degree. When he achieved his MBA, Alex became Vice President of Sales at Sokol Blosser. In addition to his sales duties, Alex takes time every year to work the harvest, and also oversees vineyard and winemaking activities. Now a Co-President with his sister Alison, Alex actively participates in the Oregon wine industry, including spearheading the project to develop six new American Viticultural Areas in the northern Willamette Valley and heading the Northwest Wine Coalition on export promotions. He was invited to join the board of the International Pinot Noir Celebration and was elected President for 2007.
