I'm Not Afraid To Drink Fucking Merlot

On Sunday we were invited to a four-course small bite brunch at Hawk’s View Cellars. Cabernet-braised short rib and sweet potatoes, Merlot with a turkey croquette and  gravy... sigh.

Dee-lightful

Just got back from a trail run at Tamanawas Falls. The temperature was just around freezing and my footing was cautious at best. The sun was out in Hood River as I drove home and I glimpsed the stark white top of Mount Adams above the clouds. I literally did a little happy dance in my seat at the thought that I'd been up there. Life is beautiful.
