The Seafood Festivals Have Spoken!

The Portland Seafood & Wine Festival, held February 5th & 6th, and The Newport Seafood & Wine Festival, this upcoming February 26th-28th, announced the results of their wine competitions. The Portland Seafood & Wine Competition had no maximum entries per winery, but The Newport Seafood & Wine Competition had a three bottle maximum.

All the wineries entered into both contests will be pouring at the Newport event, so it is a great opportunity to taste the array of award-winning Southern Oregon wines.
