Good Egg Project: Gardens, Wine & More

I arrived at the hotel after a fun car ride with Erin and Dara (see blogger list below) and the first thing I did was take a refreshing shower. Then I met Michele for a garden tour and we laughed so much that I think some folks were glad once we departed the tram.

After a quick change, we all departed for some wine tasting and a tour at Domaine Margelle Winery. Pulling up to the field and having a table with an amazing spread of cheese, bread and wines was something I thought would only occur in my dreams.  We learned about the grapes, wine and the Willamette Valley. We then went up to the main house and had a lovely dinner that including Chef Jeffrey Saad as a guest (that deserves its own post).

Dinner (I will need to get some nice food shots from fellow bloggers):
First Course:
French Tomato Salad with Heirloom Tomatoes, Hard Cook Egg & Sweet Garlic Herb Vinaigrette

Second Course:
Cavatelli Pasta, House-made Ricotta & Farm Eggs Tossed with Local Squash, Shrimp & Cherry Tomatoes

Dessert: Tahitian Creme Brulee with Chocolate Shortbreads
