I am a Cabernet Sauvignon person. I enjoy the flavors, the boldness, and the overall characteristics of the Cabernets. I have recently ventured out of my realm and had a Pinot Gris from the Willamette Valley and a Pinot Noir also from the Willamette Valley. I rather enjoyed the Pinot Noir, but for me the Pinot Gris... just not for me.
A little about myself, I am in my mid to late thirties (that's all you get from me on that) I come from
a family of four kids. Two sisters that are older than myself and one sister who is younger then myself.
Yep, that's it the only boy!
Spending six years living in the mountains of Central Eastern Washington up in Okanagan county was
the experience of a live time. My parents bought some land, as I refer to it, in the middle of nowhere and called it home.
With four kids, dogs, and cats (not four of the later two)... piled into a red station wagon with everything
they owned inside, they we were. Where? Your guess is as good as mine... "The Middle of Nowhere" Being only of the age of four at the time of our arrival, there are several adventures and memories that
have to be refreshed for me during our current family visit and dinners, but there are several that I always
have in my mind.
Freedom to walk and play as we wanted to. The security of nature, the trees, the meadows, the creek, the wildlife and the comfort of a family that made it work with what we had.
How I got where I am today is a story of great length. I will post, as I have started this, with pieces of my life here and there as I expand this blog.
The main purpose of this is to share first and foremost my recent passion for wine, learning about it, and buying, and hopefully slowly become a source of information for those who I know that are looking to
enjoy a fine glass or bottle of wine with me, or for themselves, friends and family.
At this point my knowledge, in my opinion is elemtary, but I will continue to read, sample and buy so that I can
convidently post and discuss wines and and everything about them. My focus, as I have stated previously is on the more local wines: Washington, Oregon and California. There are so many wines, wineries, vineyards and origins of great wine from around the world that it is overwhelming. With over 400 wineries in Washington, close to 300 in Oregon, and a handfull over 1900 in California... there are more than enough wines to focus on, (for me)
right here on the West Coast.

I love this, and I'm excited to read about wines (and maybe sample some with you). I'm also excited to read about your memories of our life "in the middle of nowhere" Do you ever think you would want to do that again. I do, sometimes, but probably in a warmer climate and a little bit closer to civilization but with the same feel of the country and the freedom of exploration in "your own back yard". Thanks for your blogging - I love it and I know that anyone who reads it will too!
