We met with Carrie at AVP and decided to move forward with making our wine there this year. It’s a great space in Milwaukie near Bob’s Red Mill off the 224.

Our Rewine barrels were delivered to Steve’s place, and we went out for tapas.

We found out recently that we are not likely to get our permits and licenses in place in time for harvest, so we’ve been struggling with what to do. It didn’t seem likely we could find a place to make it this late in the game.

We toured Rewine Barrels and then stopped in for a tasting and pairing at St. Innocent.

Even though summer doesn’t officially end until the Autumn Equinox, September 1st always feels like the end of summer. Here are photos of some things we did this summer.

Steve and I had our first official LLC meeting Tuesday night.

We did a thing. Every great adventure begins with an outlandish idea. Steve and I bought a whole bunch of winemaking equipment from a colleague who was moving to a houseboat and can’t make wine anymore.
