A very fun read Pam ! After living in Portland for seven years I can attest that you are an amazingly well-informed traveler. You covered a lot of ground and saw the great highlights of the region. Reply
Great post, Pam! We visited Williamette Valley years ago and had such a great time and enjoyed some awesome wines. The first thing we had to do was learn how to correctly say “Williamette.” (The locals gave us a cute little jingle to help remember.) We think Williamette Pinots and Santa Barba Pinots are similar and love them both. Reply
Thank you! Willamette is a tough one to remember how to say correctly! Beautiful, unspoiled, undeveloped area – almost hate to write about it for fear of commercialization. Reply
