--- wine tasting ---
Turns out the area outside of Eugene – VENETA - where I’m staying has a cluster of winefarms, so after late morning coffee and mooching on the lawn we set off up the road to find them.
Get distracted at a farm stall and get to taste Oregon’s famous deep fried WALLAWALLA ONION rings. Sweet as you like. Get the last punnet of strawberries and head down the winding road for wine.
First stop at Hinman Winery we get asked for our id and scowled at by a thin-lipped pourer. Leave off and over a series of stops I SWIG my way thru’ inches of fine Pinot Noir. Heather buys a small bottle of crazy sweet desert wine.
--- Oregon sun ---
Like everything in this state, the sun takes a LONG TIME to get going. Noontime sun is a warm and soothing and only vaguely aware it’s meant to be doing something. It catches on at around 4pm. That’s when we retreat into the shadows and get the mozzie spray out.
