C’mon, with a nice, restrained title like that, who would’ve anticipated controversy?… Much commenting, sharing, linking, and…

Oregon, Unexpected (Answers.com August 2014 Wine Article Roundup)

Posted on August 26, 2014August 14, 2014 by 1WineDude

Summer, we hardly knew ye… August is drawing to a close, as is what felt like the briefest (and mildest, for us Communistwealth of PA dwellers) Summer on record.
