Hello everyone (especially you, Dick N),

While browsing online, I stumbled upon some postings on this group from
June 2003 in which someone (in Florida, I think!) posted a link to our
site, and someone on this list thought it might have been us trying to
promote our then-fledgling site. Well, no, it wasn't us, we don't do
spam. If you're curious about what we do, please email me off-list, and
I'd be more than happy to chat, but I'm here now because I want to know
what's the latest with this group, and online wine culture in general.
Would love to chat about your thoughts regarding the current state of
online wine info, as well as what people are wanting more of.

In any case, it's been a while, been really busy here with OW. Lately,
we've been delving into small-scale winemaking (the 2005 Viognier is
fantastic), are interested in starting a local winemaking group here in
the Beaverton, Oregon area, and of course, are busy as usual writing up
tasting reviews for local wineries and such.

What else is new... oh yes... things are in full swing for the upcoming
Memorial weekend events. Lots of Oregon wineries are opening their
doors for tastings and so forth. At the same time though, I know a ton
of people won't be able to get out and enjoy themselves, so will
probably stay at home. I'd bur curious to know what all BBQ plans you
might have, and would definitely like to know of any interesting
recipes and wine pairings as well.

In any case, we hope all is well with you, and hope you all enjoy the
upcoming events this Memorial weekend!

Best Regards,

David Anderson
