I bought this on a whim. Maybe it’s because I’m readingĀ Passion and Pinot and the main characters are on their way to Oregon. Maybe it’s because the first wine that truly touched my heart was from Willamette. Or Maybe it’s because I spend a lot of time studying the wines closest to home (Napa and Sonoma) that I felt like venturing across state borders. So it is with that notion that IĀ present my first step onto the Oregon Trail of Wine.
