Welcome to Corvallis Tid Bits. I want this site to be relevant to the populace in and around the City of Corvallis Oregon. One will be able to find what is happening in the Arts as well as in the Business Community. If you have visited a Restaurant in the last few days,please take a minute and let others know your experience. The same would hold true for a Retail establishment. If you are holding an event or know of an event that will take place, let others know the who, what where, when etc.

It should not be a surprise to anyone that the poor economy has resulted in Michaels Landing in Corvallis having recently closed its doors. Michaels Landing has been open for approximnately 20 years and has weathered prior slowdowns. The owners made a point in stating that they would probably reopen in April 2009. That remains to be seen.......... This will not be the first casualty in the restaurant category for Corvallis. Iovino's and Strega's in downtown Corvallis have a major challenge to remain profitable while many of the base clientele are suffering the consequences of the recession. More to follow............

Today I had the pleasure of sharing a bottle of D'Aquino Gaetano Valpolicella 2007 vintage. The best thing I can say is that this wine was very enjoyable and it is worth the cost. Actually it was very reasonable at less than $7. This type of wine is perfect with most any Italian meal, spaghetti, fish or beef. It also works very well with a baquette of bread and your favorite cheese. I purchased this wine at Trader Vic's in Eugene, Oregon. If you have an opinion please let me know.

Today I had the opportunity to enjoy a glass of Trinity Oaks California Pinot Noir. This wine would be "adequate" as part of a picnic lunch or day at the seashore. Trinity Oaks is inexpensive which is probably a plus given the state of the economy. For less than $6 any bottle of wine is reasonable. The bouget is a bit too fruity. When compared to most any Oregon Pinot Noir this wine is no match. However, the cost is about 25% of what a good bottle of Oregon Pinot Noir would cost. If budget is the most important factor then give this pinot noir a try. If you care to spend an additional $10 then move up to something like Eola Hills or Willamette Valley Pinot Noir. I give Trinity Oaks Pinot Noir a grade of "C". Let me know what you think.............

Today, Monday December 15, 2008, Corvallis Oregon is "digging out" from about 2-3 inches of snow. Actually the snow total is not the problem. The current temperature is 23 degrees with a brisk wind. The cold makes the snow a problem because most Corvallis residents are not accustomed to any snow. Todays snow is more than Corvallis has received since at least 2004. The forecast is for cold temperatures for the rest of the week, with yes the possibility of more snow. The children should enjoy the day off from school. Dress the children appropriately and take them out for a sleigh ride or maybe show them how to make a snowman.

Marys Peak Campground is 19 miles west of Corvallis and 9 miles up Marys Peak. The campground is open from mid-May through mid-September. Six sites accomodate vehicles up to 18 ft. in length. Due to the winding road, pulling trailers is not recommended. First-come, first-serve occupancy.
