I'm moving to Oregon in the near future for a job, so you'll have to bear with me as this photo-blog transitions from being Berkeley centric to having a more Portland area feel to it. To be more precise, my wife and I are moving to Hillsboro, and last week we were up there house hunting (yes, in Oregon people can still afford to buy homes). An obvious result of this transition is that the wine country photos will now have a much higher probability of being Pinot Noir instead of Zinfandel or Cabernet Sauvignon. At first we were afraid that this move north would take us away from wine country, but it has in fact brought us closer. This photo was taken at Elk Cove winery about 30 minutes from Hillsboro. We're just beginning to get to know the area, and adjust our palettes to Pinot, but it looks like a wonderful region we're looking forward to getting to know. Have any personal recommendations for the area? I'd be happy to hear them :) NIKON D80
