Oregon
May is Oregon Wine month.
We will celebrate a couple of great Oregon wineries this week. We peek at one of our favorite makers, Quady North, for a cool rose made from 3 grapes: GSM. And we taste 3 wines from a cool wine maker Erich Berg of Ricochet. His wines are fantastic and we are proud to display them in honor of Oregon wine month. Come hear and taste all about them.
