As many of you know, for Winter Break, we traveled to the Rogue Valley for Hometown Wine Company — crafting wines that capture the power and nuance of this remarkable region. The terrain is strikingly diverse: river-carved valleys, rolling vineyards, rugged hillsides from volcanic activities, and dramatic peaks stretching toward Crater Lake. A landscape that…
We purchased the Carriage House from the Historical Society a year ago, October 2024. Today the building might look new, but the Carriage House is decades old. The history of the Carriage House, once red in color and sitting next door to the Cleveland House and Museum, started long before 2024. The Carriage House is…
Let’s get down to the brass tacks.. tacks not tax as some might think. (Despite the impending tax season!) Technically we do not want to get technical.. but to follow up from our last ‘What do YOU Taste?’ blog.. we thought we would technically (get down to the tacks, folks!) get into it.. The question?…
Wine is in the tastebuds of the beholder. Wine flavors, aromas, small nuances and subtleties, just like anything, varies from person to person. Using wine as an example – what we might taste in our Jordan Winery, Cabernet Sauvignon, for example, could be different than what you taste or Jordan’s own panel of creative, foodie,…

Doesn’t everyone have a living bucket list of places and things they want to see? Savannah, Georgia was at the top of the list for us. Maybe it was the thought of the architecture, cobblestone streets, history, food, Southern hospitality or lichen filled trees.. but this dreamy place was a dream. You must add it…
As we approach the New Year, the stereotype that seems to always repeat at the start of each year is health and wellness. The New Year is a symbol of… starting something new, a fresh start over and a reason for changed ways. Many times health and wellness is the focus, not only at the…
This last Saturday, November 5th, was just a lovely 70*F and B-E-A-U-TIFUL. We decided to take a “Sunday Drive”. As you know, we try to adventure as frequently as we can to discover new and interesting places. We had heard wineries were growing in Ramona so we went to check it out. A lot of…
Here we are.. in an Amish Farmhouse, just south of Geneva on Route 14 as we made our way through wine country near Seneca Lake. The lighting looks kind of eerie but as we look at the handmade patchwork quilts that hung above us – it was only natural light (no electricity!) peeking through each…
