Dining Deals
March marked the 10th anniversary of Portland Dining Month, in which more than 100 dining establishments throughout the Portland, Oregon, metro area participate. Not only does it allow diners to sample a three-course menu for just $33 at a wide range of restaurants, but it also raises funds for the Oregon Food Bank through donations made for every reservation made through OpenTable. My husband and I always try to make our way to Portland a couple of times that month to take advantage of the great deal and try the fare at some of the city's most popular and up-and-coming eateries.

Late Winter Wine Tasting
Earlier this month we enjoyed the chance to try a whole slew of wines from one of our favorite wine regions . . . without having to travel all the way there to do so. Those who have been reading my blog over the past several years know that my husband and I make a trip or two to Walla Walla, Washington, every year to enjoy the wonderful wines (especially reds) produced there. Sunset magazine named Walla Walla the best wine town of 2018, and we wholeheartedly agree.
An Evening with Fleetwood Mac
Over the past few years my husband and I have made a conscious effort to see more live concerts, most featuring artists whose careers began in the 1960s and who remain popular today, producing new music while also performing hits from the past. Such was the case this past Monday evening when we traveled to Portland, Oregon's Moda Center to see Fleetwood Mac perform. The band, in one iteration or another, has been performing for more than 50 years, and they certainly pleased their fans that evening.

Birthday Dinner at Nostrana
Last month I celebrated my birthday with my husband at a wonderful Italian restaurant in southeast Portland, Oregon. Nostrana opened in 2005 and has appeared annually on The Oregonian's list of best restaurants ever since. Chef/owner Cathy Whims is a six-time James Beard Award nominee, and her restaurant boasts "Simple food from honest ingredients. Pure, regional Italian." The list of farmers and purveyors on the back of each menu proves that claim, and the fresh, delicious flavors on our plates bolstered it.
