Three of my favorite wineries are going to be showcasing their wines in my old home town of Portland Oregon on January 27 from 3:00 - 5:00 at
Pastaworks on Hawthorne.
Produttori del Barbaresco, Renato Ratti and
Cantina del Pino are about as good as it gets for tasting wines that are representative of this region.

These guys are all very popular in Portland so be prepared for a crowd.
