According to portlandwineweek.me:
Portland Wine Week celebrates the best of what this seaside “Restaurant City Of The Year” (Bon Appétit) has to offer—a strong community passionate about local food, award-winning boutique restaurants, and a diverse presence of quality-focused wine.
Everyone is welcome—from the wine newbie to the serious oenophile—who are interested in experiencing and celebrating great wine. There are opportunities to meet winemakers, chefs, sommeliers, and locals exploring their own backyard.
