This year’s event was held at the Double Tree Hotel by Lloyd Center in Portland, OR. The theme was Pate, and boy did they have a lot of Pate. My wife and I are big fans, and this year did not disappoint! To our delight, there was even a Pate contest! There was no question that the best was in town that day.


The Judges of the Pate contest. They make the big decisions.
As good as it looks.


Unbelievable number of top notch wineries, too bad I don’t have the tolerance to try them all!
Mixologist contest, we got to share an incredibly delicious whiskey sour.

There are more photos, but too many to post! More information on the website, hope to see you there next year!
