Another winery, eh?

Yup. This one, the Youngberg vinyard, about 5 mile southeast of McMinnville was a real treat. Normally they only allow tasting of their execellent wines by appointment, but last weekend they had an open house which was great. We each had a glass of Pinot, including Charles our escort.

And the Chairman of the Board, Robert Tillema, contemplates the future of his extensive holdings.

This winery and vinyard was so spectacular in the setting. It was like being on the Mosel or even being in Italy that we are familiar with. Really friendly owners, super wine, and spectacular setting ... wow!

And on the way we went by a field of Alpacas which had to be the biggest herd (flock, group, bunch, pod, whatever) of these things we had ever seen. Let's see ... how many sweaters do we have here ... ?
