Day 9 - McMinnville and the Willamette wine region, OR

Sure enough, the rain came down periodically but did it stop us (well, me at least) from popping into one or two wineries to check out their wares... what do you think?  Speciality of the region is pinot noir; apparently it's been a good year so far and, touring the area afterwards in a rare burst of sunshine, there looked to be a lot of grapes still to be picked. We've invested in a couple of bottles for sampling in due course (let's hope they let us import them into Canada!).
