My friends and I went for the Dungeon Crawler Carl wine paring, and had a blast!…read more Our host was knowledgeable, the wines were awesome, and it was so much fun! We got to try so many amazing wines from so many different places, and the character pairings were topnotch. Definitely one to keep an eye on as they're always doing something different.

I am obsessed with this team and this space. Portland, wake up! We have another amazing wine…read moremerchant with indoor seating for tasting. And, most of the team are incredible sommeliers with a few currently training to become master somms! What a resource for us! David and Marissa are very welcoming. From the moment we stepped into the space on Tuesday to participate in the blind tastings, they consistently taught us new information and led us perfectly through the journey of identifying wines. I also really enjoyed their energies, and Marissa matched our sass and zest for life very well. C&U normally have flights available at all hours when open, but, Tuesdays are special. Blind tastings are only hosted then, so, make your way down to learn something and to taste new wine. You can select either one red flight, one white flight, or both for a total of six wines to taste. We decided to do the six wines, so one red and one white blind flight. There are extensive resources to help you with this experience, and I would highly recommend water and snacks to balance the palette. Seating is not abundant, so, I would recommend arriving early if you want to guarantee a spot. I hope that they offer outdoor seating come summer. My only critique of this place would be that their hours could be longer or pushed to open later for more time in evenings for guests. 7pm closures are tough for most of us professionals. C&U also offers special events and courses to expand your experience. I will definitely be coming on Friday this week for the special German wine release that David told me about. Thank you, I cannot wait to come here often.

Perfect wine shop!…read more Service - The service is extraordinary. The knowledge of the staff, which are trained somms, is unmatched at any shop we've been to. It is obvious that the people who work here have passion in spades for wine and sharing it with people. For anyone who is new to discovering wines of the world this makes your journey so much more fun. We've never gotten a bad recommendation from the staff because they listen to what you like and then push you a little outside your norm, if willing, to really expand your experience. Price - The prices are fair, this isn't Costco wine so don't expect $12 bottles to reign supreme but they are usually within a buck or two of other local wine shops with larger footprints. With that said though, there is a wide range of prices that should help any budget find quality wine. Atmosphere - The atmosphere is great. They keep it cool to protect the wines and it is reminiscent of walking into a very fancy wine cellar. They are large enough to not feel cramped but small enough to keep that intimate feel. Quality wine glasses and seating areas make it very pleasant to stay for a bit and enjoy the experience. Selection - Selection is wonderful, they don't have as many bottles as a Total Wine or the like, but everything in the shop is thoughtfully curated. I don't think I would hesitate to grab any bottle as it would be a good example of the wine in that region. They have wines from around the world, so it is like taking a trip around the globe where you can stop anywhere you like. Experience - The overall experience at Cru and Domaine is special, from the warm welcome of familiar faces to just sitting and popping open a bottle (no corkage fee for wine purchased in the shop) and enjoying it while chatting with the staff and hearing all about what makes that wine so excellent. They also have a nice selection of Coravin Pours (wines they tap using a Coravin System to keep them perfectly fresh). Some of these pours are pricey wines you can try by the ounce because you may not want to spring for the whole bottle. Summary/ TLDR - There is no single reason that keeps us going back time and again, it's all the reasons, and all the reasons added up make this a PDX gem and a special place to enjoy wine with friends.

Her personality and communication is just as perfect as her dishes. Thanks for such a great experience.

This place is retro, shabby, comfy, and delightful. Here in the heart of the Oregon craft beer…read morescene, this place is the flagship of all things sold that come in a sealed container. Thousands of options here in one gigantic marketplace, and something for everyone! The marketplace itself is quite dated. Yet it is eclectic and quirky. It is welcoming and irrefutably very memorable. There is a dedicated area to serve beer on tap with a list of about 12 options and then there is a restaurant with a limited menu. Mostly things like burgers, sandwiches, and other common pub fair. There are vegetarian options available. When your order is ready, they use an overhead mic that is resemblance of something that you would hear over the loudspeaker at an 80s rollerskating rink. On site, there are bathrooms and areas for seating that include bar tops, high tops, and even a couple of comfy couches. There is an outdoor patio that is very inviting during the warmer months of the year. Ultimately, this is an incredibly impressive presentation of beverages. Perhaps even something that some people would consider a museum of sorts. Either way, there is definitely choices for everyone, and this is an establishment that can't be missed. Yes, you can visit the other location on Powell, but nothing will ever match up to the original location here in Multnomah village. An experience, a chance to shop and stockpile some beer, but truly a showcase of excellence in beer culture in the heart of our city.

So nice not to carry bottles with us all day. Every 20 minutes or so a bus would appear. We were never in a rush, nor did we ever wait very long. We visited wineries I've never heard of before and they were AMAZING. How would I have ever known about them otherwise?!? White Rose was our favorite. Such a cool space and amazing Pinots.

Our itinerary allows us to stay 15-25 minutes at each tasting stop to provide adequate time to ask questions about the food and the people behind the businesses. We have Neighborhood Chocolate Walks in Downtown Portland, The Pearl/West End, and Lake Oswego. A new Downtown Vancouver Sweet & Savory Walking Food Tour was unveiled in June 2011. It is our hope after taking one of our walking tours that residents and visitors alike will view each neighborhood in a different light and discover new places to explore and revisit. Public and private programs are offered seasonally mid-March through early December and can be tailored to meet your specific needs. We also provide indoor chocolate tastings at your location and after-school chocolate workshops for students.

Lunch was delicious and the people we met were so welcoming and genuine. A totally incredible day! Jeffrey and GiGi
