Oasis Dream Home In The Central Oregon Outback Video Tour
Welcome to Central Oregon Outback country, where the rugged wilderness of the American West offers an escape from the stressful life of a modern world. At the edge of the town of Silver Lake, lies a unique 16 1/2 acre Oasis retreat, with a home that is an architectural marvel.
What makes this home so ingenious is the fact that it has been designed to bring together the owners residence, a large garage and shop, and even a two-stall horse barn, all under one roof. The beauty of this remarkable design is that you never have to go out into the heat of summer, or the cold of winter to work in your shop, or check on, and feed your horses. It is the ultimate solution to secure, comfortable, living.
Whether you are looking for a retreat, vacation home, primary residence, income producing property, or retirement home, this phenomenal property offers you one of, if not the nicest home, in all of Lake County. It was engineered to be easy maintenance and low stress.
The systems of the home and property were designed for flexibility, and luxurious comfort. Everything has been done for you, and it would cost a fortune to duplicate. Here is your opportunity to own a special place in the country where blazing sunrises and sunsets greet and say goodnight to you, over the Great Basin of the Western United States.

Chardonnay Wine Tasting: Oregon vs. Virginia
Chardonnay Wine Tasting: Oregon vs. Virginia
This was fun and a little bit odd, but I decided to do a blind tasting on camera between two chardonnays. While we were out a wine shop we saw a 2013 Stoller Chardonnay and bought it pretty much because we wanted to see what their style of chard was. And we had visited Stone Tower winery in May and, based on Sarah's thoughts, picked up their 2013 chard.
Seeing as these two wines were sitting in my wine rack not going anywhere, I thought it made a lot of sense to do a blind tasting of them both and see which one I liked better.
I don't often do blind tastings. We did a couple of them in wine class and I wished we did more. Why? Because it forces you to focus on what's in your glass and allows you to forget about any outside influences that might make you think you're tasting something that isn't there.
There are a number of studies that talk about subjective bias in wine. Some studies claim that people are incredibly susceptible to outside influences that in turn shape how they perceive wine. For example, if I told you that the wine we were tasting was a $200 red Burgundy and I talked up how great it was, you're more likely than not to perceive the wine as excellent even if that wine was (in reality) a pedestrian $5 pinot noir.
I saw this a little bit in practice in wine class. When someone had in front of them the name of the varietal, region, producer and year combined with their text book that stated the types of aromas and flavors you should experience, interestingly people created incredible tasting notes that really hit all of the characteristics spot on. The times that we were forced to put all that away and just focus on the glass, our class somehow struggled to come up with the 15 different aroma characteristics that they usually experienced in each glass.
Anyway - so in the spirit of seeing which wine I liked better, I thought it was a great idea to do a blind tasting, if only because I wondered how much I was biased myself to things that were produced in Oregon.
Sarah poured the wines in marked glasses and I had no clue what was what until after I had done tasting notes for each wine.
Before we get to the wines, I'll take a minute to chat about chardonnay. I have not in my wine history been a big chardonnay drinker. For the most part I've been relatively ambivalent about white wine until the past couple of years. But what I do know is that it seems to be trendy to hate chardonnay. So many people that I speak with always take shots at how bad California chard tastes. After going through wine class, I kind of laugh at the people who hate chard out of hand because it's one of the few wines that runs such a large gamut of styles and profiles.
Chard can be crisp, acidic, light and lean. And it can be big, unctuous, oakey and over the top. In between lithe and robust, there are many styles. Which is something that makes chardonnay such an interesting wine. If someone says they hate chardonnay, they just haven't had the right style for them yet.
How did my tasting go? Well I was surprised on one hand and not surprised on the other.
Oregon was the clear winner. The Stoller chard was a solid wine and one that I'd get again. The Stone Town 'Wild Boar' chard was pretty much undrinkable for me. The nose was vegetal and the flavor profile was just really off-putting - unripe, unshucked cord is about all that came to mind. Which isn't anything that I wanted to drink.
I'm not surprised that Oregon won, given how great Oregon wines are in general. But I am surprised at how much I didn't like the Stone Tower wine. We were at Stone Tower in May and tasted their Chardonnay. Sarah liked it better than me and wanted to get a bottle of it and we ended up picking one up to take home. I was surprised to have this kind of reaction based on the fact that I didn't have that kind of reaction previously.
Overall, I think this blind tasting was a success because I got the opportunity to just focus on the wine and whether or not I liked it, shutting out any bias from what was on the label or how much the bottle went for.
Hope you enjoy the show above that we shot for this and let me know your thoughts!
Happy 4th of July everyone!
~Cheers!

Lakey Inspired
Winery in Medford Oregon - RoxyAnn Winery
RoxyAnn Winery Inspired by the Rogue Valley's natural beauty and bounty, RoxyAnn Winery was founded in 2002 at the historic Hillcrest Orchard in east Medford. One of Southern Oregon's oldest orchards, Hillcrest Orchard has been directed by members of the Parsons family since 1908. The winery name RoxyAnn comes from the earliest settlers who laid claim to the most fertile portions of the Rogue Valley in the 1850′s and named the tallest mountain peak after a pioneer woman named Roxy Ann Bowen. Come and visit us at -
3285 Hillcrest Dr
Medford, OR 97504
Phone: 541-776-2315.
In 2001, the first harvest of grapes at RoxyAnn produced only 150 cases of a proprietary red Claret that was a blend of Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot; with the entire production selling out in two weeks. Today, RoxyAnn Winery produces nearly 15,000 cases of award-winning Claret, Pinot Gris, Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, Tempranillo, Syrah, and Viognier that reflect balance, complexity and profound depth of flavor.
Our winemaking, under the direction of veteran winemaker, John Quinones, relies upon a balanced and skilled process that strives to fully express the unique attributes of the vineyard in every bottle of wine.
