Northwest food and wine lovers LOOK OUT! The food and wine festival to beat all festivals is coming soon to the incomparable Pure Space in Portland's Pearl district. This is one event you don't want to miss, in fact, it's the one you've been waiting all year for! On November 13, from 4-8pm, over 600 wines from Oregon and beyond, in addition to gourmet bites from regional restaurants, will be available to sample in a truly exceptional setting.
Many wineries will be offering special incentives such as case discounts and free shipping. Take advantage of this great opportunity to get all your holiday shopping done early. I know, it's not even October and here I am, trumpeting commercialism, yet facts are facts, the Northwest Food and Wine Festival makes it just too easy to please all the wineauxs on your holiday list. That's my kind of one-stop-shopping!
If you'd like to attend this event, purchase your tickets online OR try to win mine; I have two pairs I intend on sharing with some very lucky readers. Winning them couldn't be much easier, simply leave a comment below with a compelling reason why I should select you. To double your chances (two names in the lucky beret), become a fan on Facebook and leave a comment there as well.600 wines is a lot to taste and I trust (hope, hope, hope) you won't get to them all. But here's a mostly up-to-date list of participating wineries so you're sure to make your mark, before you get set and go. Sip with you then!

Because I don't spend nearly enough time out tasting all these great wines on my days off!
You should pick me because I am fabulously awesome! And because I'm still too poor to spend extra money on an event like this. :-(
You should pick me because I could use an awesome gift for my parents 25th anniversary - they love going wine tasting!
Pick me so I have a reason to come back and visit before the holidays! A very good reason at that.
With two toddlers at home, my husband and I don't get out much at all. And after dealing with all the screaming and messes, some nice wine would really help relieve the stress :-) Cheers!
You should pick me, because since I've backpacked around Mt Rainier and grown this awesome beard, I will definitely class that place up. I may even wear my purple velvet pant suit in honor of the "grape"
Because I have never been to a tasting before? :)
Pick me because I had the balls to put Cana's Feast Primitivo on my wine list by the glass!
I've turned so many people on to that wine!
Because there is no way you can taste all 600 wines by yourself. You need to enlist some help and I promise I won't spit a single wine out, because that would be wasteful (and I promise I won't drive ).
You should pick me because I work in a tasting room and would like a good reason to take a weekend off... I couldn't think of a better reason then food and wine!
Pick me because I love wine and love finding new wines...also because my husband and I desperately need a date night after the month we've had.
Because I am old...and have been married nearly 40 years. I need a break! I do love wine, and it looks like a lot of great wineries that I have never tried!
I used to work in the industry and and after having to move cross country due to my husband's unemployment situation (and subsequent re-employment) I could really appreciate some serious wine-tasting, which I can't afford while we get back on our feet!
Hey Crotchy, You're fabulously awesome now, cause you just won free tickets to Northwest Food and Wine Festival!! Yay!! Email me tbelgard@gmail.com and we'll get you set you up. Congratulations!!
Yay! Thank you so much for this opportunity. I'm sad to see you take a step back from your blog, but I wish you the best of luck with your new career. I'll be emailing you shortly. Thanks again! :-)
