More Wine Geeky Stuff
It is almost time to start cruising the wineries here in Oregon, and I can hardly wait to get started. What I love about the wines of the Northwest and Oregon in particular is that the wine makers do it for the sake of the wine. This may offend some of the bigger wineries but it is true. Bur Oregon wines are not created on the premise of will this sell, but will this taste good.
Collectively, Oregon wines are a exception to the rule of marketing mediocrity. Most Oregon wines are made with integrity. They come in better and worse versions-which is inevitable but their collective integrity can never be questioned. Partly this is due to the small scale artisan wineries of Oregon. Most Oregon wineries produce less than 5000 cases a year
Oregon seems to attract the willful wine maker who is more interested in making tha wine his, or her way, than they about a guaranteed, focus-group assured payday. And Oregon's pre-eminent "willful winemaker" is David Lett, the founder of The Eyrie Vineyards. Arriving in Oregon in 1965, it was Lett who literally brought pinot noir and pint gris to the state, despite the advise of his wine making professors in California who asserted that northern Oregon was "too cool." The rest is pretty much history.
Eyrie wines are now made By Lett's son Jason, who has no problem with his fathers asthetic convictions. Eyrie wines have always been of the finest quality. The Letts, father and son, have remained true to their school. And the latest expression of that high-minded conviction is the stunning 2005 estate-grown pinot noir. It is everything that and Oregon pinot noir should be and , oddly enough everything that they shouldn't be. This is probably the finest pinot noir I have tasted in my short time that I have actually been TASTING wines. So my advise is to try it for yourself and see if I'm not correct.

Wine Geek
When we started our Home Based Business, everyone told us that you need to find something that you are passionate about, know something about or have a good product to sell that alot of people want. Well we have been at this for about 4 months now and it has been a real challenge because everthing that I am passionate about or good at or know anything about is either boring or won't make us any money. And that is not why we are doing this. Or at least we were told that we couldn't do it.
Well I don't like to be told that I can't do something, it just make me want to do it that much more. So I have started to do my research and maybe I have found away to do just that.
I have a almost geek like interest in wine, just about everything wine, especially Northwest wines, but most of all Oregon Wines. And We have found and affiliate marketer through Commission Junction. Now I can have my wine and drink it to. We will start by passing along information about our local wines and what ever I find that might be of interest to you other wine enthusiasts out there. And from time to time bring to you some good deals on wine and all the stuff that goes along with it.
