The thought hit me this afternoon that if I keep the Day thing going in the title you are all going to wonder what went wrong when I forget the number of the day. The worst that could happen is that I run out of something to say... not possible? Well you may be correct. In the future I will title what we are doing and let the computer keep track of the date.
I am really going to have to get ahead of the calender of events so I can give you all a better heads up on what is happening. Yesterday my wife mentioned that Willamette Valley Vineyards was hosting a two day event today and tomorrow featuring some of the fine seafood from the Oregon coast. Mo's famous clam chowder is going to be served as well as fresh Dungeness Crab. Add to this the availability of WVV fine wines to wash it all down is to tempting to pass up.
We had some other appointments earlier in the day so we arrived at the winery about an hour and a half before closing. Not really a bad idea but the drawback is the music had finished. The food was aplenty and the wine at a reasonable price.
they offered either a whole crab ($17.95) or a half ($12.95) in the shell with a good coleslaw and garlic cheese bread. Clam chowder was available in three sizes, the Cannon Bowl ($8.00) a bread bowl and a large ($5.95) and small ($3.95) A few other items are on the menu, Grilled Shrimp Skewer ($2.00) Bay Shrimp Cocktail ($4.95) and a side of Garlic Bread ($1.00)
We took the half crab, added a shrimp cocktail and paired it all with a delicious 2003 Griffin Creek Viognier at $5 a glass or $25 a bottle. You will have to shell the crab yourself but that is the fun of this event. Messy but they are ready for you with plenty of tools on hand to get the job done.
Give yourself at least an hour and a half to get filled up.
