Visit Oregon's Willamette Valley Vineyards on Memorial Day Weekend 2009

On Memorial Day weekend, more than 100 wineries in Oregon's Willamette Valley will throw open their doors to the public, offering new releases, barrel tastings, special food tastings, and a chance to meet winemakers and owners. It's an event that happens only twice a year -- the other time is over Thanksgiving -- and several wineries aren't open to the public at any other time of the year. Check out who's open on May 23rd to May 25th, 2009 and what they'll be pouring at the Willamette Valley Wineries Association website, or download a PDF version here. While you're there, check out one of my favorite area wineries, Carlton Winemakers Studio.
