A fantastic trip on the Oregon coast to the Napa and Sonoma valleys and back to the Oregon coast – awesome! It was like a honeymoon.
We drive to Vancouver, Canada via Chuckanut Drive, on Widbey Island and Portland, on a seaside location in Oregon, where we live in a large motel called Ebb Tide right on the beach. Walking on the Beach – Awesome 500m Deep Beach, Almost No One On Them
It stopped at the Sea Lion Caves and the Devil Churn – a great spot to watch waves catapulting in the air as you hit giant rocks – the Oregon coast deep deep From sandy beaches to sandy slopes with huge waves, sand dunes with grass and miles Sand sandy – 400 miles of beautiful scenery every mile!
They went to the oysters in the Winchester Bay – they have a triangle on the mouth of the river where they make "oysters" and then come to the place where we went where they came on a conveyor belt and the lady shakes them and gives you hands – Could not update! I liked it so much that I would go back to the road later.
My impression for California was a 6-lane expressway, so I was surprised to drive on a stretch that was the finest, longest, most crazy I've ever driven – my girlfriend THAT BE! I went for more than 30 minutes, where my hand did not stop, turn, turn, go backwards, turn upward, reverse, etc. Fort Bragg, Mendocino Coast was dark – he was very happy to stop driving! The next day we moved to an area called the Anderson Valley – and we saw on a Mexican food that three wineries were tasting warehouses. We drove wineries but never heard of them, they thought they had small potatoes and headed for Sonoma / Napa. The lady in the tasting says, "You are wine and you just go over the Anderson Valley? Go back 20 miles and go here, here and here!" At the top of the three wineries we picked up at our store, we returned to GoldenEye – the Duckhorn Pinot Noir label (who knew?) And went to Roederer – which is Cristal Champagne – Navarro – the United States Blue Point where only restaurants Sold but won all kinds of prizes – a Chardonnay and a Gewurtztraminer – the lady told us she was under the campsite, so we stayed there Awesome 90 degrees heat in the middle of the trees. The aforementioned winding road is one that takes all Redwoods and we camp in the area where the largest of them are. I have a picam of a bunch that's so taller than my girlfriend stands up!
Going to the Santa Rosa Valley until the start of the Sonoma Valley, we actually went to the motorway through all kinds of Russian river wineries, but we wanted to go to Sonoma. I went to St. Francis – bought a Pinot Noir, Kenwood – bought a bottle of Cabot – and we sell in Canada for $ 50-60 for $ 15-20 in the US – at a great price! I also visited Benzigert, but failed to do their famous tour – there is not enough time! He entered the BR Cohn – got a great picture before the gold albums of Doobie Brothers – he also handles them.
At the last moment, it is stirring up the Napa Valley trying to find Caymus, very disappointed when we did not know it and it was 5 o'clock – most wineries have been closed – I'm passing a whim towards Freemark Abbey – open to 6!
They found some good glasses, pistol metallic greengrocer and a small theft – they found 300 cases of a strawberries of 1988 – sold for $ 115, probably $ 400 in Canada – for $ 20 for the bottle – and both were back We could bring it – now we have 4 1988 Freemark Abbey Sycamore bottles in our basement! Fantastic! Now I just have to wait for the occasions to drink them – but so soooooo is ready to be drunk NOW !!!!! "I joked that it would be best to drunk in the parking lot!"
They camped at one of the places in the Berry Lake, on a strange, uninterrupted road where no one else was and we were at the campsite and it was another tent! We had a nice night, we had great wines on the edge of the lake, and no one else was there! Nutty! Is this California ?? At home, 25 million people ?? LOL The next day was 101 degrees when we were on Chico roasting! He stopped in Medford, Oregon, and a guy said to go to town and taste the beer – he found this very pub pub under the freeway in Siskiyou Brew Pub and local beer – and Dead Man Ale – Rogue Beer – Received 2 Great Skull and Crossburn Brownies!
He put it back on the beach, on the top of the Oregon coast, and stayed in an oceanfront room – one dollar more! – watching the dunes, the ocean, the ditch digging in the fireworks and drinking great wines (we had to get rid of everything from the Freemark Abbey bottles!) And we watched people burn the fire and fireworks started – beautiful, beautiful, beautiful.
The last day of the rain when we sent home – the only thing we could not do was never dive buggy ride in the Oregon dunes – we will not let ourselves alone – last thing – but we make group tours of different sizes Cars or ATVs, but waiting for too long – next time!
