While working to promote wines and regions she believes in, Marianne also wanted to create a wine she could call her own. Collaborating with a childhood friend from Southern France, Thomas Delaude, the duo started dreaming up the concept for Souleil Vin de Bonté in March 2020. They wanted to create a community of friends around this wine, and design a bottle that’s beautiful both on the inside and out. They collaborated with an independent winemaker (also a friend) on the blend of organic grapes, and have worked with friends every step of the way, from design to distribution.

In addition to expanding their circle of friends from coast to coast, Marianne and Thomas intend to use the wine as a channel to give back to a cause they believe in. As a way to benefit the environment, they’re contributing a portion of the company’s proceeds to organizations dedicated to ocean conservation. When she’s not in the vines or helping coordinate beach cleanups and apéros, Marianne can be found testing out her latest recipe in the kitchen or practicing cornet to one day achieve her ultimate goal: joining a street brass band.

Our Guest, CHO WINERY
Cho Wines is the first Corean-American owned and operated winery in Oregon, founded in 2020 by Dave and Lois Cho. They specialize in high elevation Willamette Valley sparkling wine and Pinot Noir. The couple was introduced to the world of winemaking while performing music at local wineries in Southern California. Dave’s passion for the trade grew while meditating with monks in Burgundy and tasting through California and beyond. After earning a degree in Enology and Viticulture at Oregon State University, Dave went on to work for notable wineries such as Oregon pioneer sparkling wine house Argyle Winery and the largest contiguous vineyard in Dundee Hills, Stoller Family Estate.

While Dave works behind the scenes, Lois covers nearly all things unrelated to winemaking as CEO and co-founder of Cho Wines from product and website design, communications, compliance, social media and marketing. On top of acting as the Director of Operations for Cho, she has been a family nurse practitioner for nearly a decade. After struggling with seasonal depression, uprooting her family from CA to Oregon then back to CA again, her passions are to increase mental health awareness and as well as to taste more wine!
