This past weekend was Super ! Just sayin. I attended the 2010 Astoria Crab Seafood & Wine Festival in Astoria, Oregon on our beautiful coast. As I have attended many of this type of events, but never this one, I was expecting the usual cowds pushing and shoving around the booths. Well, this one was different than most. Sure, there were a lot of people there, including children, but I rarely felt crowded, except in line for some of the awesome seafood ever !
The really nice thing about this event is that they had most of the food in a separate tent. Yes, there were a couple of seafood vendor booths set up inside, but they were in corners or where they wouldn't affect walking about. And did they ever have great seafood ! Did I say they had great seafood ? I ate more fresh crab & oysters in 3 days, than I have in my entire life ! And..am I happy!
There were a good number of Oregon Wineries represented there, and I had a chance to taste some new ones, as well as talk to the owners. It's amazing ow proud these guys and ladies are of their wins. It's not an industr for just the "Big Guys".
A few of my "Fav's"... Marsh Anne Landing, Henry Estate, Noble Estate, Pyreneese, Hip Chicks, Purple Cow, and a new one for me thatI really found just Yummy, Kings Raven.
So...if you didn't get there this year, you might want to think about attending next year. If you do, I'll see ya there, cause I'm planning to go again.
Cheer's and be sure to drink Yummy Pacific Northwest Wines. You can find them, and video tastings at www.awinetodiefor.com
