I just returned from a two week vacation to Oregon. We drove 2400 miles and saw a LOT of the state in two weeks. The tour of the wineries was nice and informative but I noticed that there were not any wineries in the coastal area (save one - mabye two). There were, however, wild blackberries EVERYWHERE in the coastal area like you would not believe. If I lived on the Oregon coast, I would not have any problem making wine - and from free resources. Anyone out there ever made any wine from wild berries from the Oregon coast. BTW. I did buy a bottle of 100% blackberry wine from a very very small winery in Astoria specializing in fruit wines. I plan to share it with Ray - who posts regularily to this news group when he visits in the fall.
