Hi, Im Monica
the gal behind pinot+Pistols
let's learn together
Pinot+Pistols is about two of my favorite hobbies—wine and guns—and various aspects of life related to those topics. It all began as a way to share my journey into Oregon’s Willamette Valley (known for Pinot Noir), as well as my journey into all things gun ownership, concealed carry, and self-reliance.
These topics can be intimidating, but I aim to make them approachable. By sharing what I learn along the way, I hope I can encourage you to expand your knowledge and capabilities in a way that is attainable, fun, and safe.
