Visiting the Barretts

While in the Eugene area, we have the opportunity to meet with Steve and Sandy Barrett, Sandy being the sister of one of my clients. In spite of leaving for Utah the next morning, they take roughly 6 hours of their time to show us around the area. First, we enjoyed a late lunch and we had this picture of the 4 of us taken:

Next came a visit to a fabulous winery Steve is familiar with. Regrettably I didn't get a picture of a sign and can't remember the name of the winery or the owner. Help!

The Pinot Noir I do remember - it was delicious. Wish I had a glass right now.

It was a delightful afternoon which came to a close all too soon. We even had this unnamed musician play for us.

The owner of the winery (name also forgotten - oh well!) came over and gave me a great big smooch. His naked photo adorned one of the walls. It was a photo op I believe, for a calendar, which raised over $650,000 for the school district. Remember the movie Calendar Girls?

If you're ever close to Medford, be sure to visit Longswords Winery. We belong to Harvest Hosts and spent a night at their vineyard. Absolutely beautiful.
