On Mother's Day, 2003, the boys and I took Amy out
to wine country in Oregon to do a little wine tasting. On the way,
we stopped off to have lunch and then continued on our way. We
visited 3 wineries and tasted some pretty decent wines. We ended
up buying a few bottles at Sokol Blosser. On the way home, we
stopped off at a park so the boys could play for a bit. They were
such great kids during all that boring "adult stuff" we did. What
better way for Amy to see what a great mother she is than to spend the
day with her two boys on their best behavior?

The first winery we visited was
Rex Hill. I didn't try anything here and Amy didn't
mention liking anything in particular. |

They had some big art thing. |

The inside of the tasting area is very ornate. There's lot
of weird things too... like medieval Asian chicks. |

The second winery we ended up at was
Duck Pond Cellars.
I was looking for a dessert wine, which they had here, but it was
a little too harsh for me (too much alcohol). |

They had a little pond out in front... |

but oddly, no ducks, just koi fish. |

Our last stop at Sokol
Blosser was the best by far. Amy really liked their
Evolution and I found
a great
dessert wine. |

Of the three we visited, Sokol had the most beautiful land. |

And the coziest little spot for that final picture. |
