I mean, how big can they really make a shrimp cocktail?
Maybe you don’t especially like leaving the dark outside for a darker inside. I get that. Maybe your response to our peculiar brand of winter woes involves good food and a bottle of vino.
Hello Oregon Seafood & Wine Festival (Feb. 1-2). I think they do it February because around here the shortest month can sometimes seem like the longest. It’s amazing what a bit of Dungeness crab and a nice pinot can do.
OK, I’m not hot on the location (the Oregon Convention Center), but what it lacks in ambience it makes up for in sheer size. That means lots of sampling choices (food samples range from $1 and up. Wine starts at .50.). And that’s good.
It is $12 to get in but some of that money goes to the Oregon Chapter of the National MS Society. Plus, you haven’t lived until you’ve experienced the world’s largest Oregon pink shrimp cocktail.
See you there,
Emily
