Know nothing about wine?

That's actually good.

If you're reading this, you are probably visiting... or contemplating a visit to Oregon. (stoked for you!)

In my opinion, Oregon has some of the best things in the world to offer. Where else can you experience mountains, coast, desert, farms, tight-knit community, and a mind-blowing food and wine scene... AND all within just hours of one another??

What sets Oregon apart from other regions? The craft in our community is nurtured. Even when producing on a larger scale, much of our economy is hobby turned artisan craft and eventually turned business. What causes this to happen? Curiosity. Asking questions. Determination to encourage our neighbors. Lending help to new projects. And cheering on those who are experience their version of success.

Above all, having the right attitude to approach opportunities with an open mind is key in this community & I can't wait for you to experience it for yourself.

From a loving place.. it's not.

Welcome to my blog, a public avenue where I get to take my experience of meeting winemakers, touring vineyards, tasting wine, and petting winery kittens and digest it into somewhat interesting and fun information for you to read.

Before working harvest in 2023, I spoke about so many things I had never witnessed. I asked a million questions and eventually thought I was getting the hang of this wine thing. BUT there's a catch in this industry... the more you know, the more you have to learn. Learn with me, find some fund places to visit, and meet some incredible winemakers and hospitality peeps.

I tried taking this blog seriously for a while and it got stressful, so now I am writing when I am inspired and have questions and feel something. Relate? I'd love to hear your thoughts. Want to collab? HMU, I love featuring new wines, winemakers, and wineries.
