Awww Monday! March 7, 2022

Friday March 4th was Russell's birthday so we
drove down to the Dundee Hills in Oregon. 
Just 90 minutes away! 
 


We first stopped at 
Alexana Winery for wine tasting and also having
a cheese and charcuterie appetizer plate 
with our tasting flight.
 Yum!





Russell is obviously having a great day!
We then drove a bit further to the De Ponte Winery.
It is our favorite winery!
We tasted delicious wines and Russell indulged
in not only buying some De Ponte wine but also 
some of their wine maker's wine 1789
Isabelle Dutartre is a fabulous wine maker!
We had a great time Friday and Saturday!
More on our little jaunt tomorrow!

Awww Monday! October 5, 2020


Fall has to be my favorite season!
I know Spring is beautiful with all
the flowers blooming, but there is
something special about all the
leaves changing color and drifting 
down to join all their buddies.
This past weekend we drove south to
the Red Hills wine country near
Dundee Oregon. First we stopped at


Potters Winery a small family run winery.
Very tasty wines and a great start to our little vacation.


I'll post more photos later this week.
Have a lovely week!
