Of course this was the era of Aerospace de-leveraging in CA and all of us were heading up to the PRO (The People's Republic of Oregon) to buy up their houses and 'ruin" the I-5 corridor from Portland to Medford… <br />My how things have changed.<br />Winery tourism is a growing part of the overall DMO business, fed by the strong underpinnings of Foodie Tourism.<br />The changes in Napa Valley that Clay and his new team have wrought are powerful and appreciated.<br />Brian Bakerhttp://montelena.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-941731830705031230.post-2914739667244842362013-03-05T15:06:12.570-08:002013-03-05T15:06:12.570-08:00When something or Oregon in this case is discovere...When something or Oregon in this case is discovered "overnight" its often done after a lenthy twilight and its done on the backs of pioneers. <br /><br />Here is a neat PBS video on the Oregon wine business that I enjoyed watching.
