Spring is here and it's almost time for fourth annual Portland Indie Wine Festival, showcasing small-production (2,000 cases or fewer) artisan wines from all over the state of Oregon. Forty selected wineries fill the two-day event and pour their own wines, affording festival-goers a rare chance to meet the people behind every bottle and interact on a personal level. Included in the price of Grand Tasting tickets are delicious bites provided by 20 local partner restaurants, representing the best of Portland's food scene. This year, seminars have been added to the festival, including one we're especially excited about: Terroir 101 (5/3), moderated by Imbibe Senior Editor Kate Simon.Travel deals are available for local hotels and dining establishments too, via the Indie Wine Festival website.
