gorgeous sunday afternoon here in portland, oregon. cloudy at times, then sunny at times...on and off.... take a wine tasting trip with jean and chris and dylan and collin and geoff stone and grandma stone... go out to yamhill county... pinot noir wine tasting... a short drive from portland, and a long way from home...
ever been wine tasting in napa valley or sonoma, north of san francisco? same thing, but here the specialty is PINOT NOIR, the BEST WINE EVER!!! if you haven't, you are MISSING OUT!!! picturesque vineyards and rolling hills, blue skies, succulent grapes, tasty blue cheese or maybe tillamook extra sharp chedda cheese! a nice rosemary cracker, some sopresseta! UMM! then let me tell you about these yamhill county pinot noirs... domaine drouhin , rex hill, ponzi, arrow summit... man, those blackberries, bing cherries, peppery, spicy, ummmm!
decent chardonnays too..
go out and get yourself some pinot noir from oregon tonight, get some nice cheese, some chocolate, some apples or something and think of your old pals paul and mel...
peace from p-land...

Portland
Out in Portland now, actually Newberg, Oregon. Mel and I are staying with the amazingly caring Stone family, cousins of my Aunt Alicia (happy bday aunt lish!). The Stone's are incredible cooks, funny as can be, cool as hell and have like 100 cats. Chris is building a plane in his shed and Jean is busy growing zucchini the size of Philadelphia.
Mel and I found the perfect spot - a gorgeous two bedroom townhouse in the Historic Irvington district of Portland. It has a fireplace, washer and dryer, dishwasher, microwave, huge fridge and a cool little back porch with soil to garden and a little shed. The neighborhood is awesome, we can walk to everything/anything we want right on Broadway. There's neighborhood Japanese, Ethiopian and Thai restaurants, diners, pizza joints, brewerys, coffee joints, supermarket, a huge mall (Llyod Center) and more...Plus, we're 7 blocks from the broadway bridge, so we can walk/bike to downtown any time we want.. Furthermore, since lloyd is so close, we can hop on public transit for free, since it's part of fareless square!
the only thing neither of us has yet is a job! so i'm looking like crazy. please let me know if anybody hears of any open public relations or high end sales positions in Portland.
Peace from Newberg,
Pauly
