I am happy that Paul Greico's obsession with all things Riesling has spread out from it's New York home and has become a national epidemic. Here in Oregon, nine restaurants are participating in the Summer of Riesling by pouring three Rieslings by the glass all summer long, with many others restaurants highlighting Riesling as well.The following are signed up:
Bar Avignon, Portland - featuring Love & Squalor
Clyde Common, Portland
Gruner, Portland
June, Portland
Le Pigeon, Portland
Heathman Restaurant and Bar, Portland - featuring Love & Squalor
Metrovino, Portland
Ned Ludd, Portland - featuring Love & Squalor
Olympic Provisions, Portland
Love & Squalor Riesling is showing up at these fine spots and is additionally ON TAP! at Kir and St. Jack. This is a special one barrel 2010 cuvee that I created for these guys. When it's gone, it's gone.
