Hello everyone (especially you, Dick N),
While browsing online, I stumbled upon some postings on this group from June 2003 in which someone (in Florida, I think!) posted a link to our site, and someone on this list thought it might have been us trying to promote our then-fledgling site. Well, no, it wasn't us, we don't do spam. If you're curious about what we do, please email me off-list, and I'd be more than happy to chat, but I'm here now because I want to know what's the latest with this group, and online wine culture in general. Would love to chat about your thoughts regarding the current state of online wine info, as well as what people are wanting more of.
In any case, it's been a while, been really busy here with OW. Lately, we've been delving into small-scale winemaking (the 2005 Viognier is fantastic), are interested in starting a local winemaking group here in the Beaverton, Oregon area, and of course, are busy as usual writing up tasting reviews for local wineries and such.
What else is new... oh yes... things are in full swing for the upcoming Memorial weekend events. Lots of Oregon wineries are opening their doors for tastings and so forth. At the same time though, I know a ton of people won't be able to get out and enjoy themselves, so will probably stay at home. I'd bur curious to know what all BBQ plans you might have, and would definitely like to know of any interesting recipes and wine pairings as well.
In any case, we hope all is well with you, and hope you all enjoy the upcoming events this Memorial weekend!
Best Regards,
David Anderson
