SMALL PRODUCER WINE RESIDENcy
VOL. 1: November 15, 2025 - February 15, 2026
A rotating spotlight on small, hands-on winemakers who do it all—from vineyard to bottle. Our wine residencies celebrate the independent makers redefining what wine can be—fun, unpretentious, and for everyone.
Approachment is a joint expression of Jessica and Paden West’s combined talents, skill sets, palates, and creative outbursts.
“This is our opportunity to fuel our creative and experimental side together as winemakers but also as partners and best friends. Thanks for joining us on our adventure.”
We have a passion for cultivating grapes in an inclusive relationship with nature and the environment. We believe that great wine is made from quality, unadulterated grapes. We believe that wine is for everyone. We work with winemakers that appreciate, understand, and share our values.
We, Chris and Draga, are the founders of Liska Wine along with our loyal german shepherd rescue, Liska.
That is right, Liska dog came first!
After following harvest around the world for a short while and falling in love with German Riesling and other cooler variety wines, we settled in the Willamette Valley.
We decided to start this wine label at the same time as the arrival of our daughter, so our workload doubled! However, we couldn’t be happier to start this journey as a family of three (plus Liska dog, of course).
