The Sparkling Season
I don't know why it's so difficult for us to convince our guests that sparkling wine, while it's great for a special occasion, is also good for all seasons. We at Feast love it year round.
Wine
Feast offers a wine tasting every Saturday, another on the last Sunday of each month, and occasional wine dinners. Subscribe to our email list and you'll be the first to know about all of them.
Past Wine
How the Grenache Stole Christmas.
If there's a varietal that the staff agrees on here, it's got to be Grenache. Good with food, good by its lonesome- some are light enough for lighter dishes, but some are gutsy enough for double cream cheeses and red meat.
Holiday wines with Katie Woodcock of the Estates Group
This Sunday being the last Sunday of the month, it’s time again for our monthly fancy-pants wine tasting. Not that Kevin’s weekly tastings aren’t full of tasty wine and snacks and information, but once a month we like to open up a few higher-end bottles, and pair them with a few little plates of food meant to go specifically with each wine.
Odds and ends, but not “leftovers”
If you're at your saturation point with family and a little bit of tippling is in order to grease the wheels of diplomacy, it may not hurt to show up for our wine tasting this Saturday. This week Kevin's got four bottles open that don't necessarily have anything in common stylistically, but there's one key common point: they're all on sale.
Giving Thanks
This week, Kevin will be opening up four wines suitable for your Thanksgiving needs. A couple of them are crowd pleasers, wines with a nice broad audience that are sure to appeal to the entire extended family, and/or all your Thanksgiving friends.

Frank Family Vineyards with winemaker Todd Graff
Dear Feastlings, Once they’ve made it through crush, winemakers can take a little breather. In November, there’s weeding and vine-trimming, but the winemaker can get out and head for warmer climes for a little handshaking and baby-kissing, and as luck would have it, Todd Graff, who’s been making wine for Frank Family Vineyards since day […]
¡España!
Hi, Feastlings. When you mention Spain and wine, people seem to default to Rioja, and Rioja, without a doubt, has earned no small amount of street cred in the wine world. That said, what better educational experience than to taste a Rioja alongside wines that hail from some of the dozens of other appellations in […]
Brooks Wines
Hello, Feastlings. Rather than write an intro to this month’s Last Sunday wine tasting, I’ll paste this from the OregonLive.com website: “In the early 2000s, Oregon wine country’s brightest rising star was Jimi Brooks, a restless world traveler with a magnetic personality, a large group of close friends and a weakness for Moto Guzzi motorcycles, Unimog lorries and […]
Scary Good!
Hello, Feastlings. I’m not sure how many years in a row Kevin has worn the Jack-o-lantern-styled Halloween hat he got at the dollar store, but if I were pressed to make an educated guess, I’d figure he’s down to about 12 or 13¢ a wearing by now, if only because of the tenacity he’s demonstrated […]
