Everyone trying not to squint....Jenny failing miserably at not squinting
So a bunch of us went on an Oregon wine tour for my 30th birthday and had so much fun that we decided to do another one. We all met up at Liz's place for breakfast and then were picked up by a limo at 10:30am. And yes....we did start drinking at approximately 10:32am. Our first stop was Brick House Winery and it was absolutely wonderful. They are an organic winery that only makes 4 wines (2 white/2 red) and they were great. They are expensive, but totally worth the splurge. The assistant winemaker gave us a tour and he was very welcoming and informative. I loved the feeling there and would totally go back to this place.

Our second stop was Aramenta Cellars and when we pulled up, I felt like I was in Sonoma. The place was adorable and has some great seating areas for lunch. On the other hand, one of the ladies pouring wine was rude to several of us and I think that made me not enjoy the wine. 
Our next stop was Panther Creek and everyone was really looking forward to this place because one of their wines won best wine at book club. The building was really cool and we got to sit at a big table for the tasting which was nice. Unfortunately, they had just added sulfites to a bunch of their barrels, so the place smelled like sulfur and people had a hard time tasting.
Our next stop was Domaine Drouhin. I thought this place was beautiful and was very fancy for Oregon. It seemed like a place you find in Napa. The building was cool, the wines were great, and the views were awesome.

We had a few extra minutes, so we decided to stop by the A to Z tasting room. We did some power tasting and buying and the poor guy working there had no idea what hit him! 
If I let you take my picture will you promise to leave
We ended back up at Liz's place and some of the other girls had to take off because they had wine dinners and cocktail parties to attend (my friends are very fancy) :). On my way home, I was dreaming about the nap I was going to take and then Aaron called me and told me about the big BBQ he was having at the house.....
