    Greetings, Vayniacs! I hope you can help me. I will be in Portland next week and have time for a one-day wine excursion. Any suggestions? Is it still possible to email Trouty to ask for assistance? I haven't visited the site in several months. Thanks in advance for your help! I am currently enjoying a 2008 Beckmen Vineyards Grenache. How about you?

      And a hearty greetings to you DC. I have been to the Willamette Valley once and must say you will have a great time and here are my suggestions.

      You must stop at the Dundee Bistro (Ponzi) for lunch before heading into the wine country.

      One last suggestion. When you get into town you can give Bob Wolfe a call and he would be more than happy to meet you for a glass of pinot or at least give you advice on where to go and what to do. He's a great guy and actually met me at the Heathman for dinner and brought along some bottles of Domaine Serene.

      Have a great time. I'm jealous.

      Cheers

      Dominus, I am completely overwhelmed by the generosity of your response. Thank you! And, as luck would have it, I am staying at the Heathman Hotel. I will definitely reach out to Bob Wolfe and report back to you about my trip. Thank you, thank you, thank you!!

      Dom has good tips. Dundee Bistro was great when i was there last fall. But Bergström Winery is my favourite so try to check them out. http://www.bergstromwines.com/
