Forte Portland

Jonathan is awesome! I was away for 6 months and have only returned to find Forte even better than the last time I was here. Willamette Valley wines are unique and full of character. You just try the white pinot blanc and the beautifully complex Chardonnay. Flights are updated regularly so visit as soon and as regularly as you can! Coffee in the morning turns into wine after hours, and there's lovely food from New Seasons! Support local businesses. There's no need to make elaborate plans to visit a winery in the middle of the week, with Forte at the heart of the city. Go Forte, Go PDX! My Happy Place.

First time in I just ordered a glass of wine and before I finished, two people totally independent of each other came in and dropped off presents to the owners. "Birthday?" I asked. "No. It's just that our regulars are the greatest." Greatest people watching cafe in downtown Portland. I laid up for a month across the street and this staff had the best Oregon-chill attitude I experienced. As a former-Portland resident who was there before we became too famous; the founders of this unique place are PortlandThroughAndThrough; these folks hosted traveling folk singer and when asked what's up with him they said "I hope it's good music. I do know he is a cool dude." THATS old school PORTLAND.
