It was something of a disastrous day in the kitchen for me, but somehow, I ended up with what looks to be two tasty pies. Grandma Opal’s apple pie, and a pumpkin hazelnut pie that will be topped with whipped cream and home hazelnut toffee. Happy Thanksgiving!#pie #applepie #pumpkinpie #dessert #thanksgiving

Lately, I’ve kinda forgotten what I love about living in #Oregon. One day I’m foraging wild mushrooms in lush mountain forests, the next day I’m sipping the finest Pinots in beautiful wine country, and yet the next, I’m on the coast enjoying a lunch of the best fresh tuna at @localoceanseafoods , listening to the sea lions barking and the waves crashing on the shore.#oregon #livinginoregon #ocean #sea #beach #oregoncoast #traveloregon #newportoregon

What a fun visit to @appassionataestate on this go

What a fun visit to @appassionataestate on this gorgeous fall day. They offer 2 different and unique flights and experiences for guests - taste the Appassionata wines or the J Christopher Wines. We tasted the Appassionata, which included some beautiful and special older vintages of Pinot Noir that they hang onto until ready to release. We also really enjoyed their Riesling, which ferments for 2 years in a giant foudre and then is cellared in bottle for 3 years before release. Winemaker Tim Malone is killing it!#wine #pinotnoir #riesling #winetasting #oregonwine #redwine #winecountry #willamettevalleywinecountry #willamettevalley #chehalemmountainsava

Previewing Durant Vineyards Olio Nuevo Festival and Feast, and I must say, it’s such an amazing experience. Each Saturday in November, guests can experience this season’s olive oil harvest. Tour the mill and pressing facility, take part in a blue glass tasting experience learning about the oil’s balance of fruitfulness, bitterness and pungency and enjoy a six-course wine-paired feast prepared by my favorite chefs Eric Bartle and Sara Kundelius that showcases all the regions where olive oil is made.Get your tickets here: https://www.exploretock.com/durantoregon/#durantolivemill

Why is it so hard to open those older bottles, alw

Why is it so hard to open those older bottles, always feeling like we need a special occasion? Tonight, we opened a 2013 Redman and paired it with the coho salmon we caught on Whidbey Island. A perfectly good reason to open an older bottle. And it did not disappoint. So elegant and so layered with earth and spice as it opened up. Stop waiting for the perfect occasion and make the occasion perfect.Cathy Redman#pinotnoir #oregonpinot #wine #redwine #oregonwine #willamettevalley #vintagebottles

Did you know that New Mexico is the oldest wine producing region in the United States? Winemaking dates back more than 400 years, the earliest wines being used for religious sacrament. The first vines were planted near Los Alamos in the 1600s. Today, we tasted wines along the magnificent Camino Rio Grande, our favorites - a luscious and mouth-watering red blend at Embudo Valley Vineyards with winemaker Josh Johnson and a dreamy Cabernet Franc by Vivác Winery.

In New Mexico for a little fun and adventure. Found some beautiful vintage Zuni and Navajo jewelry in Santa Fe, eating the best green chili imaginable at Tia Sophia's Restaurant and drinking a selection of bubbles (and oddly, Pinot Noir from the Dundee hills) at Gruet Winery Tasting Room.
