One of the local wineries had a port tasting yesterday, and they also allowed you to make your own.  It is a very interesting process and getting the right mixture of everything is more important than I realized.  That can be some nasty tasting stuff if the mix ain't right!  I took too many pics to post, so I combined them for you; hope you can get the gist of my day by looking at these.

The day started out like this and this little fella came back for a visit, too.  All in all, it was a great day!

Hope y'all enjoy!

Last weekend we made a journey south to Oregon's Willamette Valley. Here are some photos...
