I love Oregon. It is one of the most beautiful places I have been in the United States.
Beautiful tall green trees ALL around, it's incredible. And, I swear to you, not one pothole in the road. Hey, if you're from California, you know what I'm talking about.
What I was most surprised about with Oregon, is their awesome wine country - they have some serious vines up there! So not only is Oregon beautiful and a perfect place to fall in love with mother nature all over again, you can do it while enjoying an amazing glass of red wine.
Check out the calendar of wine events and regions to visit this summer (there's an Italian Fest this weekend - yes please!). Cheers.
