last week we drove out to newberg to pick up some things nicholas left at the winery. shareen and i got a tour and learned the processes of making wine (and all the different types made there). we did a normal tasting in the tasting room (of every bottle they had), and got to taste things right out of barrels and bins. there were some that were more juice than wine, some that were much more fermented and therefore quite alcoholic, and a lot in between. we had a picnic looking out on the whole valley, and it was beautiful.
