Tastingbook and floorplan in-hand, I was determined to explore and branch out ratherthan catching up with my known favorites. At these large-scale, free-for-alltasting events, I haven’t quite come up with a system. Sometimes I ask for recommendationsfrom other pourers or, a self-diagnosed font snob, I’ll often wander until alabel or logo catches my eye (gasp! but I swear, it’s a thing).

Explore NewsRegister.com (Apr 25 2012)
In November, the U.S. Department of Agriculture advised the Oregon wine industry that due to budget constaints, its National Agricultural Statistics Service arm would be unable to produce the annual Oregon Vineyard and Winery Report for 2011.
That came as an unpleasant surprise to virtually everyone involved in the making, marketing, promoting or selling of wine — or even goods and services related to wine. So the Oregon Wine Board stepped in to fund a very abbreviated version.
