Living in the Willamette Valley in Oregon, I get ample opportunity to enjoy our local Pinots (and, boy, do I!). I also have a great "wine lady" close by...but it's always nice to branch out and find more. I have found the reviews here to be very helpful and decided the least I could do was give back and contribute, since some of the best wine I've gotten has been because of the great things I've read! - Diane (an Oregon Wine Lover!)
