Newport Seafood and Wine Festival - Coming Soon!

Once upon a time (February 26 - 28, 2010) in a land far, far away (Newport, Oregon) comes The Original, and Still the Best:  The 2010 Newport Seafood and Wine Festival.  And surprise surprise...The Oregon Wine Blog will be there.

I suppose it isn't that big of a surprise that we'll be there, after all, there will be world class, ocean fresh seafood, local Oregon wines, and if we are to believe the marketing pictures, many Oregonians wearing pirate hats and crab costumes.  Sounds like a recipe for an amazing weekend!

Since the first festival in 1978, the Newport Seafood and Wine Festival has been a weekend packed with food, fun, and wine; this year appears to be no exception.   Featuring both an amateur and commercial wine competition, we're looking forward to sampling some of the medal-winning wines and chatting with some winemakers.

The festival is located in the South Beach Marina Parking Lot (near Rogue) and tickets are still available online for $10 for Friday, $15 for Saturday, and $5 for Sunday.

See you there?
