Wino Wednesday - Wine Tasting

When I was in Oregon we had a girl's day and went wine tasting.  It was a rather local place on a mountain.  It was a beautiful place, but the wine was meh - average.  The owner who ran the place was very nice and made us feel very welcome; the only problem was that when she poured for us to taste we barely got anything.  Most places will give you an ounce, I swear this was like half an ounce, like I finished it in 2 sips. Either way, it was a fun time and the scenery was amazing - these pictures don't do it half the justice.  They were setting up for a wedding while we were there, it would be the perfect venue for a wedding!









After wine tasting we went to this AMAZING restaurant called Pok Pok.  The owner of the restaurant is American, but lived in Thailand from some years.  I have been hearing about this restaurant for so long from my friend, and have seen Guy Fieri go there on Diners Drive-Ins and Dives and I couldn't wait to try it; it was SO good!  The food's flavors are very unique, and some dishes are pretty spicy.  Seriously, if you're ever in the Portland area or in New York (there's a location there too) you need to try this place.  It was very fun, had a great atmosphere and they also make great drinks!



It was a very fun girls day! Nothing like some good girl talk, wine and food  :)

Sounds like the wine "samples" at Olive Garden! Haha!!

My parents are obsessed with D,D,&D. Anytime they go to a new town they look up to see if he's been there to try the restaurant.
