Break Out The Bold Red Wine
Bold red wines never go out of style. And for those who enjoy nothing more than red wine during the winter months, NW Wine Shuttle is here to help!
I love wine, and if you’re reading this blog, you do to! I drink wine for almost any occasion – with dinner, during playdates, out on the town, and in my PJs. Does that make me a “wine mom?” According to the Urban Dictionary, and thanks to this blog, most definitely yes.
Sure there are some negative connotations of moms abusing wine as a coping mechanism, but I believe most “wine moms” love wine for the ritual. The resulting memes are just good old fashioned humor that bonds us together.
More often than not, the ritual of drinking a glass of wine becomes a connector. It can be a connector of our own thoughts, or a connector of those around us. Drinking a glass of wine isn’t just about the beverage, it’s a moment where we relax and open up. We forget our worries, and for that moment we enjoy the taste and the retreat of it.
There is a “wine mom” meme that I love, which says “I can’t wait for the day that I can drink with my kids, instead of because of them.” You can interpret this in two ways, but my interpretation is wine as a connector. Some of my favorite moments as an adult are having a glass of wine with my mom. And, as a mom of two daughters, I can’t wait to have those same moments with my girls.
I encourage you all this Mother’s Day to have a glass of wine with your Mom.
Here are some Mother’s Day inspired events from some of our favorite wineries on the route.
Cheers!

Nothing says “thank you” like a day with loved ones and a glass of wine.

Tired of being stuck inside? One of the best ways to get out and enjoy the great outdoors is to go wine tasting. As the Oregon weather presents its best self, wine tasting becomes a sought after activity in the Willamette Valley.
We’re all going a little stir-crazy with the limitations on where we can go. Many of us are staying home for the most part, and with quite some time to go, we’re all jonesing to drink wine someplace other than our homes.
