- n144mann - 07-19-2000 Hello Everyone!! Yes, I am still alive and kicking, tho life has been keeping me pretty busy!! I have a question for all of you....I am heading to Oregon one week from now, and I was interested in your opinions about what is a must see. I know the big pinot event is going on there that same weekend ( Randy, maybe we will run into eachother) But, because of the spontaneous nature of this trip....I do not have tickets to that event. What wineries are a must see??? Rex Hill is on my list...are there some small names that are a must either for the beauty of the winery or the wonderful wine?? And and all info appreciated! Nancy - Thomas - 07-20-2000 Welcome back N. Did you get my email? Try to check out King Estate and Adelsheim; two of my personal likes. If you can find Duck Pond (the Oregon one) that would be nice too. - Bucko - 07-20-2000 Archery Summit -- beautiful, wine is good but pricy. Belle Pente -- rustic, producing some of the best out of OR. Bucko - n144mann - 07-20-2000 Hey thanks guys!! Yes Foodie I got your email, and I apologize for not getting back to you on that in a timely manner!! I have been moving and so life has been a bit upside down. Congrats on the release of your book...I look forward to reading it!! Thanks Bucko....hey Bucko, I am flying into Seatac.....and driving with a friend down to portland ( sherwood actually ) We are looking for a reasonably priced hotel near the airport since his house is quite a drive and we do not want to make it that late at night. It does not need to be fancy...just clean. I am getting in late and so extras are not important. Thanks!

There are a ton of motels right across from the airport on International Blvd. that should fit your needs. Here are names and numbers: RADISSON HOTEL SEATTLE AIRPORT 17001 International Blvd Sea Tac WA 98188 (206) 244 - 6000 HOWARD JOHNSON 20045 International Blvd (Pacific Hwy S) Sea Tac WA 98198 (206) 878 - 3310 ECONO LODGE 19225 International Blvd Sea Tac WA 98118 (206) 824 - 1350 BEST WESTERN EXECUTEL 20717 International Blvd. Seattle, WA 98198 (206) 878 - 3300; (800) 648 - 3311 AIRPORT PLAZA 18601 International Blvd Sea Tac WA 98188 (206) 433 - 0400 Bucko - Wallace - 07-21-2000 "to judge wine at the Indy International"!.. this is a car race right? Where you getting all this time Bucko? - Bucko - 07-21-2000 Got a working wife.

Well thank you Bucko, that would be very enjoyable sometime. Perhaps another trip, I am sure I will be back out that way. Going to Indy?? Now that sounds fun too!!!!! Are you a race fan??? I enjoy stock car racing ( winston cup ).....but caught heck for taking a nice port in with me to the race instead of whiskey or beer. OH well......<laugh> Thanks for the hotel ideas bucko!! Hope your trip to Indy is safe and enjoyable! Nancy - Thomas - 07-22-2000 Nancy, A few years ago I had some Cristom Pinot Noir--haven't seen it in this neck of the woods since, but I remember its rich, Burgundian style. Look them up in Oregon. - n144mann - 07-22-2000 Thank you for the suggestion Foodie! I will see how many places I have time to hit, we are also planning on spending time at the beach and are doing some hiking. But I will certainly hit as many of the wineries as I can. :-) Nancy - Bucko - 07-22-2000 No, I'm not a race car fan, monster truck fan, tractor pull fan, WWF Smackdown fan, or Survivor fan -- I'm REALLY out of the loop. [img]http://www.wines.com/ubb2/biggrin.gif[/img] Bucko - winecollector - 07-22-2000 Bucko- As long as you have a wine glass in one hand, and a full bottle in the other, I wouldn't worry about it too much! - n144mann - 07-22-2000 I am with winecollector on the one, Bucko!! Hmmm....perhaps describing myself as a race fan is a bit strong also. I am too cool to be a true race fan. [img]http://www.wines.com/ubb2/biggrin.gif[/img] But I do manage to get to Bristol some years for a race with a bunch of wine loving friends...who for that weekend (to my dismay) regress to bud and miller....laugh!! I sent Randy Cap a photo from the race last year....he said I looked like a dixie chic. I don't think it was a compliment..... [img]http://www.wines.com/ubb2/tongue.gif[/img]...I told him I was trying to BLEND to keep from getting thrown out! [img]http://www.wines.com/ubb2/smile.gif[/img] I actually think the wine world should get into the sport....since I have been going to the races....I have seen a real change. HUGE amount of money in the sport now days and the fans are not the rednecks of yesterday but people with a fair bit of money!! ( rich rednecks?? [img]http://www.wines.com/ubb2/eek.gif[/img] ) There is one winery from the northeast that has had sponsorship on a car part time....I think its a great idea!! Anyway...thanks for the info guys!
