Well, let me just tell you right now that Wine-O Tour '06 was an absolute, screaming success! The Roommate found a 26-seater Excursion for us, far larger and longer than the wimpy 18-seater we've used in the past. The above shot is an interior shot when we were just starting out on the 45 minute to an hour commute to Yamhill County which has the highest concentration of wineries close to Portland. 
This is a side shot of the limo at our second winery stop. The New Guy is hiding behind the door frame---only shot I got of him. Hmmm, what's with that? But anyway, isn't it HUGE? Hey, mind out of the gutter, I'm talking about the limo-----pleeeze! The limo driver had to back this puppy up a curvy incline as that was the only way to get this monster up the driveway to the winery, since the road was serpentine and all that. Yes, he got a BIG extra tip on top of his usual tip. Very impressive but you wouldn't know it from the scene inside the limo---everyone was way more concerned with filling glasses and munching on cheese wedges.
Here's Jack leading the way to our last stop of the 4 wineries we visited. I am surprised I didn't get any photos at my favorite winery, Erath, but fear not, I did instead purchase 2 cases of their wine---a fact I didn't realize until my bank account let me know today when it was oh, about 400 dollars shy of what I thought it should be. But what the heck, it IS Erath Pinot Noir. You know damn well I'm going to drink it. By the way, does anyone know why I bought 2 cases here along with the case I got at Rex Hill? Anyone? Anyone? Oh, yeah, I was drunk.
This shot is from the ride home. Does anyone notice everyone is just a little more animated than in the first shot? Hmmm, wonder what caused all the happiness? Oh, wait, it's got to be the THREE FUCKING CASES OF ERATH ON THE SEAT! Twenty bucks says they didn't make it home intact.

You throw an awesome party there girl! We have to get Arthur back with his limo next year...he's the man! So who was the winner of the "I've been drinking and sure, I'll buy a case of wine" contest? Looked like it might have been close. I'm certainly glad I made the list to go this year (helps to date the hostess!)
Wow that looks like so much fun. I must try Erath Pinot Noir. I know I probably did the year that I did this trip, but it isn't like I can remember anything from that.
