More Oregon

I'm visiting soon so a couple more to tag onto the last bunch:

Lundeen 2012 Pinot Noir - BTG at Good Fork; no vineyard designate that I saw; somewhat soft on entry but nicely-judged ripeness; this tastes like wine, not like jam or cough syrup or wood; the bottle was probably fresh as it was a busy night at the restaurant but maybe the cru bottlings have a little more oomph

Montebruno 2012 Pinot Noir - Eola-Amity Hills area; a little more bite but still really pleasant; I'll drink the other half tonight... ETA: even more pleasant, speaks in a rather more fruity voice than an equivalent bourgogne rouge but that's OK

More evidence that the newer vignerons are rethinking how much ripeness and oakiness they want in their wines.
 
Try Cameron. My favorite Pinot in the U.S.

The single vineyards are expensive but the basic bottling at a much lower price is excellent value and a great introduction.
 
I'm looking forward to Jory Restaurant and also Bistro Maison. Besides their cuisine, after quick scans, their wine lists are appealing.

Going to Beast and Castagna. Le Pigeon was booked. I have a Pok Pok walking distance from me already.

Now, let's talk about Olympic Provisions!
 
OP, both locations, are great; really great. the old place is a bit better re breadth of food and wine, but both merit a visit. i find it amusing/amazing that i go to the Pok Pok in PDX 2-3x a year, but never have made it to the one in BKLYN.

Do tell how you find Castagna; last we were there it was with Matthew Lightner before he took over the space that became Atera. we found about 5/6th of the dishes inedible or uninspriring. and the service was worse.

beast does an OK wine paring, but you might want to BYO a bottle in addition, even though the corkage charge is not small.

if you haven't tried it , you and Jim might particularly enjoy Gruner.
 
Ovum, Teutonic Wine Company, Minimus, Crowley, Fausse Piste, Division Winemaking Company, Holden Wine Company, Art and Science, Johan Vineyards. That's probably the short list for what constitutes a "New Oregon." From an insiders perspective.
