Through numerous international trips with my drinking partner in crime, Tony, I have had the privilege to sample wine from some amazing wine regions around the world: Tuscany, Mendoza, Porto, Hunter Valley, etc. But humble brags aside, I am starting to become quite fond of the wines that have been coming out of the vineyards […]
Let’s face it, we take brunch in Portland VERY seriously. We are a city full of people that do not hesitate to stand in line for two hours for the best fried chicken & waffles in town. We are also a city full of obnoxious food snobs that do not think it’s insane to pay $15 for […]
This year marked my third year attending Feast Portland — and what a crazy weekend it was! With 134 chefs, 31 wineries, 15 breweries, 11 artisans, and 12 distilleries featured, I was a very full (and admittedly buzzed) gal for four straight days.

Whether meeting up for pre-Friendsgiving drinks (yes, that’s a thing), traipsing through the city on an ugly sweater holiday pub crawl, or just wanting to hunker down in a dimly lit bar […]
Well ladies and gentleman, it’s no surprise that Feast Portland 2016 was a pretty epic festival this past month. The 2015 festival was my first Feast experience, and this year was even better and more indulgent than last year (hard to believe). As a recap, Feast takes over the city each September for 4 legendary days and showcases […]
