It’s our eighth wedding anniversary (my wife and I…the website is pushing 11)! Wayward Wine has left Oregon for a week tour of Napa Valley. Just Napa Valley. Everyone said, “oh! This and that Sonoma, it’s next door”. But we are terroir-ists. We do not want our minds and palates muddled by a whole separate valley on the other side of a mountain range. No. We will eat and drink as local as possible.

So, after a sunny, somewhat grueling drive from Portland Oregon, just past Fairfield:  What a great omen.

I hope to post our winery adventures daily, so check back often.
