Based in Portland, Oregon, Andy Hayes is the founder of Plum Deluxe, a community of friends and family who enjoy life’s luxuries big and small. When not planning wine pairings or preparing custom recipes, he is enjoying urban walks and tastings at Portland’s epicurean delights.
The Willamette Valley AVA is Oregon’s largest wine producing region, and home to a majority of the state’s wineries, and yet it is only an hour away from downtown Portland. It makes for the ideal gourmand weekend getaway.
