Review of Portland Indie Wine & Food Fes...

Super disappointed with this event (11/8/19) @ $75...

Super disappointed with this event (11/8/19) @ $75.00 a ticket (+$15 to park) for what I thought was a all inclusive event, featuring great food and wine;
- LONG LINES for EVERYTHING!!!
- What little food that was on offer, was handed out in bite sized samples. Reminded me of Costco...
- Because of the LONG LINES, too many people were drinking whatever they could get. Not many OREGON wineries on hand...
-Some of the vendors included a home delivery food service (no samples), some type of lotion company, hotel from the beach, time shares, retirement homes, and a finanical service! None of them offered any type of food or wine... Which is what I paid $75.00 a ticket for!!!

- Maybe I'm just getting old. But the lack of bistro style tables (We counted 4) to eat at or any type of seating was a huge negative. Hard to eat / taste food, with a glass in one hand and a sample in the other...

HIGHLIGHTS;
*Reedville Catering your Pork Bellies are to die for!!!
* Skyway Bar & Grill had a very tasty Mac & Cheese...
* Rusty Grape Vineyard, your "miss ruby razz cider" and apple cider are beyond delicious!!!
* Churros Locos nothing but Yum, Yum, Yummy!!!
* Lastly, I like to thank the only brewery in attendance, Stella Artois for the great FREE beer glasses. Sadly the line was SO LONG for the free glass engraving you offered. My feet were to tired to take advantage of your super offering...
