A Weekend of Wine in the Valley
Sometimes there's nothing like getting away with the girls for a weekend. And an easy drive over the Cascades sets us right in Portland, and the Oregon wine country, during the gorgeous fall harvest.
Everybody's favorite street to stroll in Portland.

White Carrera marble, Gilchrist and Soames BeeKind, and luxurious towels at The Nines. And more spoiling by Peter on the concierge level. So fun!
Domaine Drouhin; "French soul in the Oregon soil."
Archery Summit. The customer service here is impeccable. Explore their selection of current release Pinot Noirs. Or for a more in depth and educational experience, they offer private tours of their gravity flow winery and barrel caves as well as a variety of private tastings that offer the opportunity to experience an extended flight of their most exclusive and limited production wines. Le vin c'est la vigne. The wine is the vine.
Sokol Blosser; such a lovely setting.
Cork & Barrel Tours; witty, charming, fun, tolerant, kind, funny, and best of all, safe. I'll make sure you are with The Best: Kimberly and Eric Benjamin.
And if you're really lucky, you'll meet the Cutest Little Vine Tender the World Has Ever Seen.
I may be partial.
