This Northwest Portland Wine Bar May Become the Hottest Place for Handmade Pasta | Eater Portland

"At Fullerton's NW Pettygrove tasting room in Northwest Portland, I’ve watched the winery substantially amp up its culinary program under new chef Rob Grisham: since his quiet arrival in November he’s added daily snacks like celery root croquettes with whipped roasted garlic and a radicchio-and-apple salad with burrata and fennel, and will begin Thursday-night five-course prix-fixe tasting dinners ($95) with optional Fullerton wine pairings that change weekly. The menus highlight his pasta prowess (a-la-carte winter squash ravioli with delicata and pistachios, and a duck-and-chevre ravioli on the initial tasting menu) alongside approachable, wine-friendly dishes such as cauliflower panna cotta, beef tartare, caramelized mushroom soup with sherry gastrique, smoked trout rillettes with rye crackers, and even a burger topped with shaved prosciutto and Délice de Bourgogne. I get the sense the overall aim is casual but special food that pairs with Fullerton’s pinots, and reservations for the Thursday tasting menus are available online." - Brooke Jackson-Glidden
