The Salt Wagon
If you're gonna fall off the salt wagon, there's no better block to catch your fall.
Hi, I'm Stephanie, and I'm a salt-a-holic.
::: HI STEPHANIE!:::
It's been three days since my last salting.
:::CLAP CLAP CLAP:::

Wow, you guys. Dana's line about Jennifer Lawrence's Tiffany being a "proudly dysfunctional village bicycle"; Keith's encomium for the movies ("I'm hopeful that those of us who love it will keep it alive, and continue to be kept alive by it"); and Stephanie's description of Bradley Cooper's Pat Jr. being on "his own internal hamster wheel"—those are tough lines to follow. But I would like to conclude briefly, having delivered …

…visit to The Dalles in recent weeks. First, it was to meet Scott and Stephanie from The Grande Dalles. This time it was a long overdue visit with fellow PDX Urban Wineries member Jan-Marc Baker of Jan-Marc Cellars (that's John Mark, if you're wondering how to say it).
Jan-Marc and I made wine in the same Portland facility in 2009, and I took an immediate liking to this skier turned chef turned winemaker, who also likes to forage for wild mushrooms. We'd long …

Stephanie and their young son were driving behind me on the road to the vineyard, so after introductions, we went up to the top of the hill where they have a small trailer on what one day will be a home site. The exposure here is extreme, the view of Mt. Hood and rolling hills worth taking lots of pictures. Which I did (and which you'd see here were it not for a freak thunderstorm later that day back in Portland that claimed my iPhone and all my recent pics).
Scott has lots of varieties …
