"Share & Pair Sundays" is a campaign encouraging people to gather on Sundays to enjoy wine, food, and friends. At Portland Wine Company, we’re proud to participate in this initiative by pairing wine, food, and some of our favorite things to do in our beautiful city!
Come in Thursday-Sunday until JUNE to enjoy a ½ glass of our featured wine and a snack for just $12. We’ll also have weekly food specials. In the spirit of “Share & Pair,” bring a friend or two (or three!).
Share & Pair for Thursday, may 8 - Sunday, may 11
The Wine: 2024 Love & Squalor Pinot Gris [New Release!]
This week’s Share & Pair is a special one — not just because it’s Mother’s Day weekend, but also because it’s a new release!

Paired Snack: Goat Cheese with Rosemary Crackers
Our Pinot Gris finds its soulmate in goat cheese. The wine’s mineral backbone mirrors the tanginess of the cheese, and the concentrated stone fruit balances the cheese’s acidity.

A Pairing to Share at Home: Pan-Seared Halibut with Lemon Butter Sauce
It’s fresh halibut season (which may or may not be part of the reason we’re featuring Pinot Gris). And when it comes to fresh halibut, simplicity is the key to bringing out the delicate flavors. This recipe is fast, easy, and delicious:
