For the Love of Wine
I'm in the beginning stages of learning the art of wine tasting and appreciation. I say appreciation because wine aficionados tend to be very passionate about their wine. I'm not quite to that point but I do enjoy a good glass of red or white wine. This year my very good friend and I have decided that we are going to attend some very popular wine tasting events, I mean, heck, we live in the Pacific NW, we should like wine, it flows like water here.
Here are some popular events in and around the Portland Metro Area. I'm not sure if we will attend too many events, but we are definitely going to a few. We even have our designated driver lined up!
For my readers--if you enjoy wine, what is your favorite kind?

I love wine tastings! Mingle and sip!
ReplyDeleteWillamette Valley Vineyards is a good local brand I appreciate. I really enjoy riesling wines. I highly recommend trying iced rieslings for those who enjoy sweet wines.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the tip! I love sweet wines so I will look for iced rieslings!
DeleteI love wine tastings, but I never seem to be able to make it to them when I am traveling!
ReplyDeleteI haven't been wine tasting in years! Like probably before my daughter was born in 2000.
DeleteI have never been to a wine tasting. I'm more of a beer tasting kind of girl.
ReplyDeleteWe have beer tasting bicycle tours here! I want to surprise my husband with one for Father's Day this year. Heck, we have coffee tastings here, too.
DeleteI really wish I liked wine. I keep trying it, and still.. don't like it. LOL!
ReplyDeleteIt took 20 years from me to like it, and it still makes me a little sick! HAHA! I actually think I have an allergy to red wine, it makes me bright red and blotchy.
DeleteThis looks like so much fun!
ReplyDeleteI miss living in the Pacific Northwest.. the best wines if you ask me!
ReplyDeleteWine tastings are lots of fun!
ReplyDeleteOregon really likes their wine, don't they? lol
ReplyDeleteWine, coffee, beer and wool socks! HAHA!
DeleteLove wine tastings!
ReplyDeleteI love wine tastings but we seem to only have them on South Beach in Miami, which is about a 40 minute drive away. I never make it to them!
ReplyDeletecan I come visit and join you on these? I love a good glass of wine and you all have some good wine in that area.
ReplyDeleteYou're right that there is an endless learning curve, but it's fun learning!
ReplyDeleteI'm not much of a wine drinker but my Mom loves doing tastings.
ReplyDeleteI've never been wine tasting before, but it sounds like fun!
ReplyDeleteMy husband and I LOVE wine.
