With insight from @sanfranciscowineschool, @chemosensationalist, @sommosapien, @cmtanghe and @sommvivant.

@evening_land was incredibly quiet and serene, while @domainedrouhinoregon had a Secret Garden that I ended up wandering through on my own, overlooking the vineyards.

Thank you to everyone who hosted us and to @oregonwine for having us.
