Thanksgiving is the traditional weekend to join many, many other Oregonians and Washingtonians who are stuck in traffic on their wine crawls. Mind you, you can wine crawl any weekend of the year, but the information that headlines Oregonlive.com this morning (slow news day?) could be helpful at any point.

More than half of Oregon's 300-plus wineries will be open during the long Thanksgiving weekend, Nov. 24-26, for wine tasting, tours and other holiday festivities. The wineries will be pouring from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. unless otherwise noted in the Wine Guide listings.
