Today, it seems one has many lives.  I’m co-owner of the Kelty.  Here my job is mostly managing the website and doing general promotion. In one of my other lives, I’m an author. I write sales and marketing books.  Scribner just published my new one, “Hot Prospects.”  If you are in the field of sales and marketing, you should check out the website for it.  I would recommend you start with Small Business: Success With Customer Relationship Management

Jamie Goode is a London-based winewriter.  He currently writes The Sunday Express, the national newspaper in the UK.  You can catch Jamie Goode’s full credits here.

After attending the International Pinot Noir Celebration, just concluded in McMinnville on July 25, he has started a tour of Oregon Wine Country.  Just as soon as I get another minute, I will add some of his stops to my “Oregon Wine Country and Willamette Valley Vacation Planner Map”

But for now, you can follow his travels.  Check out Day 1 of Jamie Goode’s Tour of Oregon Wine Country.

A couple of weeks ago, I posted a map of the medal winners of San Francisco International Wine Competition. Ten area wineries were among the winners.

Because there are so many ways to enjoy a vacation in Oregon Wine Country, I decided to expand the scope of the map and produce the “Oregon Wine Country and Willamette Valley Vacation Planner Map.” I will be updating it frequently.

For now, here are the pushpins I used and what they mean.

Attraction worth at least a half day.  You miss the boat if you miss these.
