So we needed to get out of the house. We had been invited to a special tasting at a winery, Arborbrook Winery
http://www.arborbrookwines.com/ that we had found off the beaten path in Newberg/Yamhill area, just 45 min. SW of Portland. We like it because it has no tasting fees. :) And the people are very nice. So we took Minnie dog in her small carrier to get her used to it in time for Christmas and set out. The fog hung around all day and particularly out in the fields, it was very pretty. If I had my camera, it might have looked something like this...
We have their 2004 Estate Pinot Noir that we're saving for some occasion....but we tasted a number of yummy ones and purchased a great pinot gris and a cuvee (which we learned is a fancy way of saying, blend.)
This is the very friendly kitty that roams the property and came in to say hello to everyone. First time we came, she was a kitten and jumped on Eric's jeep and keep rolling on the hood.
A brief outing, but it made us feel like we at least did something since it gets dark at 4:30 now. Ended the day with a glass of wine and a wood fired pizza. And yes, we did go to bed at 10pm. Sad...but true. Oh well.
