I've only seen pictures of it and driven through the far NE corner once but haven't had time to go and spend a few weeks in its' obvious beauty. I hope to do that before I die.
A lot of eastern Oregon is high desert, beautiful in its own way. I did my fishing on the North Santiam which is on the west side of the Cascades. A lot of the area burned in 2020.
It depends on what you are talking about. I love Oregon for its beauty and variety of areas: mountains, high desert, ocean, Willamette Valley where I live. However, in some metrics, Oregon does not measure up well.
Oh absolutely, all kinds of wineries, run by all sorts of people. The problem for some Oregon wineries is that they were negotiating with distributers in Canada for a contract to supply Oregon wine as usual. Then death star started the tariff war and suddenly no one wanted to contract to buy Oregon wines. So it's not just bourbon and peanut butter. The best pinot noir I had was in a hole in the wall Mexican place in Dayton. It was so good, that a couple of us bought bottles....came from a very small acreage near Dayton. My husband drinks usually French reds as they are generally cheaper. I don't, but will drink a wee dram of single malt scotch neat if certain individuals depart this earth. I have a good supply.
I envy you the single malt. After writing postcards to Wisconsin voters for hours a bit of Laphroig would be glorious. Can remember buying it for less than $8 per bottle in NOLA in the 1970тАЩs.
My, that is really cheap. I didn't drink scotch in those days. I can't remember how I came to enjoy single malt. I thought I didn't like scotch because I had only had a taste of a blend..truly awful. i can remember drinking Glava(sp?) in Scotland which is a liquor made from scotch. We met a couple of elderly English ladies at a hotel in Scotland and offered to buy them a drink after supper. One of them ordered a single malt and apparently they made a yearly trip to Scotland to buy a few bottles, so maybe I learned to enjoy it then. A couple years ago, we received a couple bottles of scotch as gifts and my husband is a bourbon drinker when he drinks whiskey. I would like to have the wee dram sooner rather than later! Kudos for the postcards.
Yes, it was truly inexpensive when you compare it to pre-Trump prices. I had some Glenlivet a few years ago, but itтАЩs the heavy complexity of Laphoig that always gets to my taste buds. Hooray for single malt scotch!
No state does. I live in Indiana, whose outcomes for just about every indicator of quality of life is in the bottom 10 states or at the very bottom. I look forward to the day I can leave.
Oregon seems so far ahead of other states (eastern 2/3 probably excepted). My son lives there and he loves it.
The Eastern 2/3 of Oregon has lots of square miles and not very many voters. It does have a good fishing river.

A lot of the 2/3rds wants to secede and join Idaho.

Is there still Oregon wine?

Indeed. One of life's true pleasures!
Frogs Leap! The name finally came back. ItтАЩs been a few years since I had it. Always a pleasure to drink though a bit expensive for me.
