Items of interest
A few link-worthy items that caught my eye but that I can't squeeze a full post out of (yet)...
The Real Oregon: a new(ish) blog subtitled "Oregon for the eccentric traveler." Looks promising, with travel tidbits about Oregon that seem pretty interesting to me.
How a $2 bottle transformed the wine industry: Charles Shaw wine (AKA Two (or Three) Buck Chuck) turns five. Who'd'a thunk it? And for the record, I rather like the wines.
Burst Culture: A bit of brilliance from Warren Ellis that's been making the rounds online. Pretty much ties in with ideas I've been having about the web and blogging, and giving me stuff to think about.

Chelsea Lane is closing
Just a quick note about Chelsea Lane, a nice little wine shop that used to be downtown but is now located at the factory outlet stores on south Highway 97: they're closing! I don't know when the last day will be, but right now they're selling their wines at 30% off, and beer for 15% off. I picked up four normally-spendy beers there the other day.
Get down there while the getting's good. It's really too bad they're closing; I don't really know of any other wine shops in Bend (dedicated/exclusive wine shops—not just wineries or places that also sell wine), except maybe for Vino Mercato.
