My New Favorite Coleslaw and My Son’s Graduation

My oldest child graduated from high school last week. I have to confess that I was utterly unprepared for the wave of emotions this milestone would bring.  It’s no secret that I tend to be quite sentimental,I’m the mama who gets teary-eyed with only the slightest provocation.

Hello!

Hi, I'm Maria. My husband and I own a winery in downtown McMinnville, the heart of Oregon's spectacular Willamette Valley.
