Outrage alone isn't a sufficient political strategy. Figure out what matters to create… And then begin.

#cocktailsky Fave cocktail? Best bar? Preferred champagne? 🍾🥂

Tell me everything.
Ken Wright Cellars in Yamhill, Oregon. Charming environment. Alas, their tasting isn't side-by-side. Servers refer to the "parent material" when talking about the terroirs.
OG Oregon Pinot Noir maker whose 2012 vintage was named top wine in the world and helped put Willamette Valley on the map.

Dusky Goose Winery and their exceptional team of sommeliers:
who epitomized hospitality. Their kitchen creates an outstanding charcuterie with French cheeses, Italian cured meats, dried figs, and the best olives you've ever had. #winetasting #Charcuterie #pnw #oregonwines #cheese #jorgehollyscott

Visited Dusky Goose Winery in the Willamette Valley for a Pinot Noir tasting this weekend. Outstanding experience with sommeliers who understood how to educate and engage. Went home with both some Pinot Noir and their rosé. #pinotnoir #willamettevalley #oregonwines #pnw #duskygoosewinery #goodwines

At Park and Main in Carlton, Oregon the Hawaiian pizza is served piping hot, oozing with cheese, on a crispy crunchy crust. They are a pizzeria and ice cream shop that serves delicious house made #spiritedicecream. Do you have a fantastic wine selection as well. #oregonwinecountry #willamette #pnw

Bistro in #CannonBeach #Oregon requires a reservation but serves a truly outstanding pork porterhouse as well as linguine alongside lamb and buffalo stew. Made new friends bc of JJ the hostess with heart. She's married to the great Chef Jack. Their #lovestory brought the Bistro to life. #love

#bellepentewines has some #gamay vines in addition to their #pinotnoir. Grown with some biodynamic practices (used grape skins and Scottish Highland Cows and lambs provide organic fertilizer) on hills that get sun through the length of the day. #familybusiness #smallvineyards #dundeehillsor

Tasting by appointment at #bellepentewines in Dundee Hills, OR with vintner Brian. Tried the Pinot Noirs and took home two unusual good finds: Cuvée Henri, a 2022 Pinot Blanc, and Cuvée Contraire 50% Chardonnay + 50% Pinot Noir. #willamettevalley #oregonwines #oregonwinecountry #pinotnoir

Super taster and cocktail creator extraordinaire: Joel at MacGregor's Whiskey Bar in Cannon Beach. Must try: his elegant Japanese 75 with house made Sakura syrup in a Waterford flute, and his soon to be on the menu: Ponzu Scheme w/fermented seaweed garnish for health. And new beach fire bud Jason.

What one finds when wandering into stores now..."arrest the war criminals" cards and pamphlets on "how not to get arrested." #signofthetimes #protestfascism

Tasted the Carolina Snake Charmer for the very first time. At #flintcreek in Seattle. Perhaps the most perfect drink I have experienced. Can't get over it. It's been a very long time. Also they make very fine espresso martini. Very fine. #cocktailsky

15 years ago on May 10th, I made a miracle happen. It was small enough to go unnoticed, big enough to change the way I see and feel about myself forever. In the moment I was too exhausted and relieved to understand. Looking back I wonder: it was such a hard time how did I not give up? But I didn't.

I don't have answers, not tonight. There's no certainty, not tonight. But the sun knew it's path home tonight. It dropped, as it always does, beyond the mountains beyond the sea. I suspect it will find its way up tomorrow morning. As it always does. So I have yet another day to figure it all out.
