After the wine tasting, we drove to our hotel on McMinnville, which we’re using as our base. Tomorrow we drive south of McMinnvillle to try some more wine. ? (McMinnville, OR)

After lunch we headed to our first wine tasting of the trip at Brick House Wines. We had a flight with six wines in total: a rose, two Chardonnays, and three Pinot Noirs. The wine was great, but the real star was the view. https://brickhousewines.com (Dewey (historical), OR)

Landed in Portland and immediately drove to Newburg, where we had an amazing lunch at Rosmarino Osteria Italiana. Heather had risotto, and I had the papardelle with wild boar. Both were delicious. (Newberg, OR)
