I have debated about spotlighting this Rimsky’s since I started Pouregon. The full name is Rimsky-Korsakoffee House but most who know about it just call it Rimsky’s. I learned of it in the mid 90’s from a friend. The exterior has no sign and if you walk by it you would probably just think they … Read more
Besides Coffee, Wine, and Beer, Pouregon also celebrates beverages made in Oregon. This is one of those. I heard Rick Emerson profess his love Viso daily on his radio show for years. I learned through Rick’s show just how fervent the fans were for Viso’s vitamin-packed energy drinks. VISO was founded in Portland, Oregon in … Read more

Opening in the Fall of 1999, Stumptown Coffee Roasters on Division Street is the store that started a coffee revolution in Portland. This is where they still roast many of … Read more

Last month I met with the winner of our book giveaway at Blue Moon Coffee. It was great that a reader helped me find a great new coffee shop. I was experimenting with gluten free eating at the time. I lucked out and they actually make gluten free products that are good. Red Square Cafe, … Read more
A friend invited Allison and me to stay with him and his wife on the coast a few weekends ago. My two favorite places on the Oregon Coast are Lincoln City and Dundee and this was nestled in between there. They said there was only one restaurant that was on the schedule that we had … Read more
What a beautiful Saturday we had in the Northwest. It was that great luck you hope for when a friend plans a birthday outing in wine country. As we left Beaverton at 11am I knew the goal of five wineries was not likely and I think that when you go wine tasting you should relax … Read more
