@Todd_Spence Mary Tyler Moore. The party scene. You couldn't see him because the lights were out, but he was on the set.

In the pursuit of "the next big thing" and other bright, shiny sparkling wine objects, we can lose track of the people that made us fall in love the first time. https://t.co/5RePKkWal2

I don't care if you own a vineyard or maintain a small garden in your backyard, you will find something meaningful in the Holistic Farming Substack. It is written by a retired (temporarily?) sparkling winemaker based in Canada. https://t.co/LJSVJzwV4O

This red wine vinegar made at Troon Vineyard in S.OR is quite simply the best I have ever tasted. You can order bottles on the winery website, but this batch isn't going to last long. It is a perfect host/holiday gift for hard to please wine lovers. @TroonVineyard

Eugene, Oregon, has a great jazz kissa-inspired wine bar. Go check out Nero. https://t.co/iM9BxDj6VY

"Uncool" by @CameronCrowe Is an amazing read. Like with "Almost Famous" and "Fast Times," I felt like I was living my own adolescent soundtrack. And I wish everyone could have an Alice in their life. I'm putting this on my office wall today. #uncool #inspirational

Hagueseth cocktail. Floral aromas, bitter note on the not-so-long-finish.

It breaks my heart that the family of one of the finest people I know had to endure this abuse. I hope Jeremy gets a meeting with the Chick Fil-a perpetrators, as it could possibly change their lives for the better. He is that kind of guy. https://t.co/xovlTXpGMX

@ChickfilA It breaks my heart that the family of one of the finest people I know had to endure the abuse heaped out by a handful of your employees. Do better. https://t.co/xovlTXpGMX

I had the opportunity to hang out with Stephanie Pao and Ted and Alicia Gerber for a day at Foris Vineyards in southern Oregon's Illinois Valley. Foris produces excellent wines for great prices. They will proudly have a place on my holiday table. https://t.co/s3AWALHwEy

@dwightjaynes Given the Time Lord's fragility, Mr. Hansen shouldn't get too comfortable in that seat.

Even though it is almost Halloween, I did not bury this lede. "Boo" from wine country. Joined by ace reporter Samantha Swindler, it is my annual ghost story @Oregonian. https://t.co/RYb20fzm6i
