"I learned that Westward Whiskey is staging a Portland Tartare Tour featuring tartare and cocktail pairings at several local spots; Miles Munroe, Westward’s master blender, says the caramelized, rich character of Westward pairs perfectly with the piquant, umami, and briny flavors of tartare, and the tour spotlights unique interpretations of the dish that complement the whiskey. The event runs March 18–24 and will benefit Hunger Free Oregon, Zenger Farm, and Milk Crate Kitchen." - Janey Wong
