Hey PDXers- This wine & cheese class at Helvetia Winery on Nov 15th is being taught by my friend Emily who is a truly incredible cheese educator. She’s focusing on a traditional cheese that is aged in spruce bark this day. 🤯 I “wood” not miss this class! www.tickettailor.com/events/helve...

So much for my home state’s reputation of leadership in public health. This is beyond disappointing.

I’ve been running. A lot more than I have in years. I’m getting faster slowly but surely and it’s so much fun.

I spent last week in Beaver head-Deer Lodge National Forest, on a 5-day backpacking trip with Montana Llama Guides. Granite, mountain streams, alpine lakes, wildflowers—It was an incredible experience & one I’d do again in a heartbeat. I can’t recommend Montana or Montana Llama Guides enough! 🦙🌄🌟

Feeling nostalgic for beer twitter 2021 (my highly curated version) and all the awesome foodies I used to follow there too. I haven’t had success finding folks on here. So here’s tonight’s wild salmon tacos and sparkling Oregon Pinot noir. Foodies 👀

Terrible photo of one of the best co-ferments I’ve ever had. Enjoyed this vinous cider from Eve’s in NY immensely—paired with Die Hard 3. It was a blast.
