Matthew Driscoll

Born in North Carolina and raised in the southeast, Matt has lived in North Carolina, Ohio, and Virginia before settling here in Oregon. After attending Longwood College and Virginia Commonwealth University, he started his own construction business in Virginia in 1988. That led to a new career path in Geographical Information Systems (GIS) where he spent 10 years working for various Engineering and Mapping companies. In 2000, Matt and Jeanie decided that people weren't meant to live in cubicles all day and so they agreed that a radical lifestyle change was in order. He loved gardening and wine and wanted to start a career that would combine the two and so they moved to Oregon with dreams of learning how to make Pinot Noir. After enrolling in the Enology and Viticulture programs at the Northwest Viticulture Center, Matt got a job working harvest at a winery. Since then, he has developed his craft by working at some of the best wineries in the valley. In 2005, Matt became the Co-Owner and winemaker for WildAire Cellars with the hopes of making world class Pinot Noir and selling it to a very thirsty public.
