Well. Here it is. A place to write about wine. I’m looking forward to filling this place with tons of experiences and I hope to learn something along the way. I leave for Oregon’s Willamette Valley and Washington State this weekend for my first trip to world renowned wine regions. It’s been a few months planning and I’m excited to see the day finally come. I’ve called ahead and set up appointments with wineries including a meeting with the self proclaimed terroirist (a person who makes wines that reflect their specific micro-site or vineyard) , Gordy Rawson of Chatter Creek Winery. Gordy was very warm and welcoming on the phone and I’m looking forward to meeting him and tasting through his current releases.

I’m spending one day in the Willamette Valley where I’ll be visiting Adea, Beaux Freres, Archery Summit, Domaine Serene, Bergstrom and Domaine Drouhin. The Willamette Valley is known for its Pinot Noir, but I really want to get into their whites too. Specifically the Pinot Gris and Chardonnay.

Lengthy posts and podcasts detailing my experiences will come after I return so grab the feed and lets share and learn together.
