Matt Compton recently celebrated his 20th grape harvest since moving to Oregon. At the age of 22, Matt arrived in Corvallis and went to work for Oregon State University, managing a research farm for wine grapes. The New Jersey native and father of three then launched his vineyard management company, West Vine Farms; which led to the creation of Small World Wine Company, Matt’s winery and distribution company. He created his first vintage in 2003 and moved into Spindrift’s current facility a year later.
