This is a shameless promotion post for you to sign up for my newsletter if you haven’t signed up already. A couple of things you should know about the newsletter. First, I ramble a little, but in a good way. It is a long newsletter of around 1,500 - 2,000 words every Saturday morning delivered to your inbox at 6:10 am. Why 6:10? Why not? Every week, I dive into a new winery in Oregon, mainly in the valley, focusing on the winery's people and back story. Yes, I talk a bit about wine in the newsletter, but it’s not the focus. I am a sucker for stories, and to me, wine stories are the best! The easiest way to sign up for the best Oregon Winery newsletter in all newsletters' history is to tap the little link in my bio, and boom, you are in. If you are on the fence about signing up, I get it. Send me a DM and let me know why you are hesitant. On Saturday, I am diving into Alloro in Sherwood and winemaker Tom Fitzpatrick. You need to know something. I adore Tom and his wines at Elevee. To uncover the fact he is the winemaker at Alloro brought about more joy than the birds chirping in the morning, giving signs of Spring. Ok, maybe that’s a little bit of a fib, but seriously Tom is fantastic. The 2017 Justina from Alloro speaks to Tom’s masterful craft of winemaking. I melt when I get dark fruit on the nose. Upon entry, this wine immediately grabs your attention and doesn’t let go until the long finish entices you for another taste. . . . . . . 🍷 #
