Meet Oliver, my bestest buddy and definitely my savior during these safe but oh so boring times. Lets face it, most of us have already binged <i>Tiger King</i> and<i> McMillions</i> (spoiler alert- neither live up to the hype…). We’ve been reading, doing puzzles, cooking and finding myriad ways to stay safe but also stay busy.<o:p></o:p></div>

One of my escapes from the house (while still maintaining social distancing) is to take Oliver to the dog park. We both get some fresh air and also get to stretch our legs. These dog park trips have really been keeping me sane, so I felt it was only fair to do something nice in return for his companionship. (Not to mention, a lot of the local pet stores are running low on essentials and getting dog treats is becoming more difficult.)<o:p></o:p></div>

So I figured, why not do a little research and come up with a simple but healthy homemade dog treat that we can both feel good about. The recipe has only 5 ingredients, is incredibly easy to make, and I swear your dog will go absolutely bonkers for them.<o:p></o:p></div>

* Lets just be honest here... Everyone has a can of pumpkin puree in their pantry leftover from thanksgiving. This is a great way to use it up.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; text-align: center;">
*Beef bouillon cubes are usually dissolved in 1 C of water. I only use half a cup to concentrate the flavor. You can leave this ingredient out entirely, but I promise your dog will love you if you keep it in the recipe<o:p></o:p></div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; text-align: center;">
*As I will further explain, the flour will vary as per how wet the other ingredients are.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; text-align: center;">
*Most people will have whole wheat flour that they had to buy for some random recipe and never used again- so check the back of your baking shelf before going to buy more.<o:p></o:p></div>

While running mixer, slowly add flour, 1/2 C at a time until dough comes together and is no longer sticky. When I did it, it took about 2 1/4 C of flour but this may vary. Remove the dough, place on a large work surface dusted with flour and kneed for 2-3 minutes.<o:p></o:p></div>

Roll out the dough to your desired thickness (I went with a 1/4” because they tend to puff up in cooking.) Use a cookie cutter or just cut small squares- I promise your dog won’t know the difference- and place on a baking sheet with either a <i>silpat</i> pan liner or parchment paper. Bake for 20-30 minutes, rotating the sheet pans every 7-8 minutes for even baking.<o:p></o:p></div>

There is no question that right now the world is a scary and confusing place. As we each do our part to stay safe and healthy, those once simple actions require much more discipline than ever before. A day off every so often to hide from the world and veg out on Netflix was once a welcome escape, but as it becomes more and more the norm, the novelty begins to fade. But just because we need to practice social distancing doesn’t mean we have to stay locked away in our homes. We just have to think a little outside the box and a little outside the normal boundaries of our lives.</div>

Besides from being a well know Portland personality and all around great guy, my friend Bob Rhoads is a true outdoorsman. So when I was thinking of things to do to get me out of the house but still steer clear of people, he was the first person I called. I requested something within a 30 minute drive from Portland and somewhat easy access. He suggested we go fishing. </div>

I was raised fishing but it has definitely lost its appeal for me over the years. But I will tell you with all honesty that as I sat on the banks of the Sandy River in <a class="" href="https://www.oregonmetro.gov/parks/oxbow-regional-park">Oxbow Park</a> and I couldn’t see another person in any direction (save for Bob, of course) I was filled with a peace and tranquility I had not felt- nor realized I had not felt- in many weeks. For the first time in a while I was at peace and the fears and uncertainty of life had momentarily faded. </div>

But enough introspection. Let's talk about Bob and fishing for Steelhead on the Sandy River. Some refer to fishing for Steelhead as ‘chasing the ghost’ because it can be a very elusive fish to catch (spoiler alert…we didn’t catch one that day) but fly fishing can be a very meditative and relaxing activity. I learned quite a bit from Bob that day. </div>
<div class="" style="font-family: Verdana; font-size: 12px; text-align: center;">
<br class="" /></div>
<div class="" style="font-family: Verdana; font-size: 12px; text-align: center;">
Steelhead are actually trout but look much more like Salmon. That is because they are Anadromous, meaning that unlike the smaller trout that live their whole lives in the local rivers, <span class="" style="text-align: start;">Steelhead swim upstream in the freshwater to spawn but they reside in the saltwater, unlike rainbow trout that only stay in freshwater. </span> When fishing for Steelhead you are only allowed to keep the ones raised in local hatcheries, which can be identified by a lack of an adipose fin (the small fin just in front of the tail.) All other Steelhead must be caught and released.</div>

Bob practices a style of fly fishing called Spey casting (named after a style of fishing developed on the River Spey in Scotland). In short, this technique allows for longer casts without the overhead back casting motion and presenting larger flies. As for equipment, Bob has a collection of flies, some he has bought but many he has made himself. His rod is a custom made <a class="" href="http://www.cfbflyrods.com/">CF Burkheimer</a>, (made for the specific technique just mentioned) a local company that Bob was an apprentice rod builder. Once we found a suitable spot, we cracked a few cans of <a class="" href="https://shop.unionwinecompany.com/collections/underwood/products/underwood-in-a-can-pinot-noir">Underwood Pinot Noir</a>, Bob chose his fly and got suited up.</div>

I was more than content sitting on the bank, documenting the day and imbibing the tranquility (and the Pinot Noir). Plus, I've tried to fly fish and it is really freaking hard until you get the hang of it! Anyway, who would complain in such surroundings? As I mentioned, we didn’t catch any fish that day but just getting outside in the sunshine and fresh air made the whole adventure a complete success.</div>

Even though we didn’t catch anything, I now had Steelhead on the brain and needed to cook some up ASAP. Luckily, <a class="" href="https://www.flyingfishportland.com/">Flying Fish Company</a> just reopened about a mile from me and they have a wide selection of some of the freshest local fish around. I was in luck and they were stocked (no pun intended) with some gorgeous Steelhead fillets. As you can see, although it is a trout, Steelhead very much resemble Salmon.</div>

I decided to cook the fish “En Papillote” or in paper. The technique, which makes for an incredibly easy and delicious meal simply requires putting all the ingredients into securely wrapped parchment paper and then baked for about 15 minutes- easy, peasy, lemon squeezy.</div>

<div class="" style="font-family: Verdana; font-size: 12px; text-align: center;">
Place the fish on the lower part of a large piece of parchment paper so you will be able to have enough paper to fold over everything and securely crimp. </div>
<div class="" style="font-family: Verdana; font-size: 12px; text-align: center;">

<div class="" style="font-family: Verdana; font-size: 12px; text-align: center;">
Set the fish down, season with salt and place vegetables, lemon slices and oregano on and around the fish. Squeeze a little lemon juice on top and drizzle with white wine.</div>

It's safe to say that Gabriel Rucker is one busy guy. With 2 restaurants, 3 children, a creatively explosive wife with the drive of the Energizer Bunny, and a weekly run club, there isn’t a whole lot of time in the day to relax. Throw in travel events and cooking demonstrations and life gets even more hectic. Anyone who knows Gabriel or has eaten at his restaurants knows that he is a tremendously talented chef who puts his whole soul into every dish. But Gabriel is also a consummate family man and in between all the craziness that fills his days, he always makes sure there is quality time for his family. I’ve personally been watching him do it for 10 years and it's quite an impressive balancing act.</div>
<div class="" style="font-size: 12px;">
<br class="" /></div>
<div class="" style="font-size: 12px;">
So i considered myself and my wife very lucky to be able to spend a Sunday evening with him and his family as he created a delicious home cooked Sunday evening meal. Of Gabriel’s 3 children, the middle one (and only daughter) Babette, age 6, is the one who will most likely be following in her fathers culinary footsteps. At age 3 or 4 she was already shadowing her Dad in the kitchen, helping wherever she could. Now that her knife skills have improved, she is even allowed to cut and chop, which i must say she does with more acumen than a few OCI grads i know. So in organizing this project with Gabriel, he decided on three dishes that he often makes for his family on the weekend that make a well rounded, delicious and healthy meal that can all be done in just over an hour. Of course when you have a pro like Babette as your live-in Sous Chef, everything runs that much smoother.</div>

There were a lot of moving parts all going at the same time while dinner was being prepped so I will do my best to keep everything well organized throughout the post. Also, Gabriel approaches all of his kitchen projects with a confident but laidback vibe which I will do my best to replicate here. There is little to no pomp and circumstance when Gabriel is in the kitchen, and no ingredient is off limits as you will soon see.</div>
<div class="" style="font-size: 12px;">
<br class="" /></div>
<div class="" style="font-size: 12px;">
The first thing you want to do is get the chicken and rice going because that will take about 45 minutes in the oven. Gabriel cooks the rice, mushrooms, onions and chicken all together in a large ceramic dutch oven. Here, the ‘Dad Rice’ refers literally to the addition of a powdered Ranch Dressing seasoning that Gabriel adds because his kids love it (and its pretty freakin’ delicious!)</div>

Once the chicken is in the oven, it's time to deal with the leeks. Gabriel prefers to use his locally made <a class="" href="https://finexusa.com/shop/?gclid=EAIaIQobChMI4oDH-5Pr5wIVj8BkCh0SnQ32EAAYASAAEgKmnfD_BwE">Finex Cast Iron Pan</a>, but any thick bottomed pan will do the trick.</div>

<div class="">
<b class="" style="font-size: 14px;"><br class="" /></b></div>
<div class="">
<span class="" style="font-size: 14px;">10-12 full sized leeks</span></div>
<div class="">
<span class="" style="font-size: 14px;">8 cloves of garlic, skins removed</span></div>
<div class="">
<span class="" style="font-size: 14px;">1 T celery seed</span></div>
<div class="">
<span class="" style="font-size: 14px;">1/2 T dried tarragon</span></div>
<div class="">
<span class="" style="font-size: 14px;">1/4 C sherry vinegar</span></div>
<div class="">
<span class="" style="font-size: 14px;">1/4 C extra virgin olive oil</span></div>
<div class="">
<span class="" style="font-size: 14px;">salt and pepper</span></div>
<div class="">
<br class="" /></div>
<div class="">
<br class="" /></div>
<div class="">
Cut the dark green tops off of the leeks and remove the butt ends. Cut each leek longways down the center, trying to keep them together. Rinse gently under cool water to remove any dirt and gently dry. Chop your garlic cloves in half. Place the leek halves and garlic in the Cast Iron pan, sprinkle liberally with remaining ingredients, cover with tin foil and place in the oven for about 30 minutes or until leeks are tender. *You do not have to heat the pan or do any searing ahead of time for this one.</div>

We have been posting stories, recipes, cocktails and more all year long, but we had yet to focus on the Paterfamilias, Founder and Fearless Leader the Union Family… Ryan Harms. We asked Ryan how we could get him involved and he suggested sharing a classic family recipe that he makes often with his sons, Noah and Ethan. Ryan also personally cooks and serves this dish every year to his harvest crew.<o:p></o:p></div>

<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; text-align: center;">
In Ryan’s own words, "<span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;">I worked at </span><a href="https://alforno.com/" style="color: purple;">Al Forno</a><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;"> in Providence, Rhode Island, during the summer of 1998. This is where I learned to make grilled pizza’s and this recipe comes from my experience there. Working there was transformational for me in getting a great base of cooking. They were doing farm to table before that was even a term. George and Joan created an amazing culture that continues on today.”</span><o:p></o:p></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;">This particular recipe that Ryan adopted, 'Shells Baked with Tomato, Cream and 5 Cheeses'</span><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;"> makes use of a basic but delicious tomato sauce base that was used in many of the Al Forno dishes. By adding a bounty of fresh cheeses and herbs, this simple pasta dish turns into something amazing. Its an easy recipe once you get the technique down, which we will happily guide you through…</span><o:p></o:p></div>

Ryan specifically uses two different cans of tomatoes, one whole peeled and the other crushed. He begins by sautéing 4 cloves of garlic in a pan, and just as they start to brown, he adds a 1/2 C of chicken stock and a 1/2 C of <a href="https://shop.unionwinecompany.com/collections/kings-ridge/products/2015-kings-ridge-pinot-gris" style="color: purple;">Kings Ridge Pinot Gris</a>.<o:p></o:p></div>

Ryan then mixes the shells until fully coated in the sauce and cheese mix. Then he scoops into a large baking dish or several small ceramic dishes for individual servings. He tops each one with a thick slice of fresh mozzarella cheese and a few small dabs of butter. Bake for 10 minutes or until the pasta starts to crisp on top.<o:p></o:p></div>

In many ways, 2019 was a challenging year. (I think you know what i mean…) Well, we can’t control everything, but what we can do is look inward and start the new year with some healthy routines to keep the mind and body feeling great. The time for New Years resolutions is here again. <o:p></o:p></div>

I can honestly say that just a few years ago i had never even heard of kombucha, but now it is huge part of my diet and life. For the uninitiated, kombucha is simply a deliciously funky beverage made by fermenting sugar and tea with a SCOBY (Symbiotic Culture of Bacteria and Yeast). This process creates living probiotic bacteria that is wonderful for digestion and all around general health.<o:p></o:p></div>

When I looked into making kombucha at home, I couldn’t believe how easy and inexpensive it was. I did several test runs and came up with a recipe that is delicious and consistent, but i encourage you to adjust the ingredients as you see fit for a sweeter, more sour or less carbonated finished product.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; text-align: center;">
The first step in making kombucha is to make a healthy SCOBY. This will become the soul and backbone of your kombucha. (I named mine Scoby-Wan Kanobi.) This process is similar to the actual making of kombucha but must be done first. Here’s what you will need:<o:p></o:p></div>

*For this, I recommend two local shops right across the street from each other on SE Belmont Street. First head over to the <a href="http://somakombucha.com/" style="color: purple;">Soma Kombucha Taproom</a> to pick up your unflavored kombucha. Feel free to bring your own Mason Jars. Then head across the street to <a href="https://taooftea.com/" style="color: purple;">The Tao of Tea</a> to pick up the loose tea you need. I experimented with many teas but found the Malty Assan always seemed to work the best.<o:p></o:p></div>

Place the water, tea and sugar in a large pot. Bring the water to a boil. Stir to dissolve all the sugar. Turn off the heat and let the tea steep for 15 minutes. Strain the liquid into the gallon jar. When cooled to room temperature, add the unflavored kombucha and cover with the cheesecloth or coffee filter- secured with a rubber band. Wait about 3-4 weeks and you should have a fully formed Scoby. Im not gonna lie. Scobies are pretty gross, but they are firm and resilient to handling.<o:p></o:p></div>

It is said they have a tendency to mold- at which point you would need to throw it away and start over- but i have been making kombucha for a year and have yet to encounter any mold. If you are worried, there are many visual examples you can find on line.<o:p></o:p></div>

Now that you have your Scoby, it's time to make the Kombucha. It's a very similar process using all the same ingredients, just with different proportions. In general, this first batch is too acidic to drink, but keep 2 C of the liquid for making your kombucha. (You will do this every time you set up a new batch.)<o:p></o:p></div>

You can keep your kombucha at any temperature but remember that the colder it is, the longer the process takes. You can let the kombucha ferment anywhere from 1 week to a month. Since i keep mine at a colder temperature, i usually wait the full month before doing the second fermentation. This is done to add specific flavor to the kombucha. There are myriad flavor choices for this step and i encourage you to try a few. For this project, I chose ginger and mint as my flavors. <o:p></o:p></div>

When your kombucha is ready, you must put it into sealable bottles for the second flavoring fermentation. I STRONGLY recommend getting 6-8 Grolsch Beers. Drink the beers (duh!) and then use those bottles. I have had several bottles explode from the pressure built up during the second fermentation, but i have NEVER had a Grolsch bottle fail me.<o:p></o:p></div>

Whatever flavor you choose, pour your kombucha evenly among the bottles, leaving some room for the extra ingredients. Add the juice, ginger, herbs etc. and then allow these to sit for about a week before drinking. It is perfectly acceptable to open the bottles every 2-3 days to let a little pressure off. This will not detract from the final effervescence.<o:p></o:p></div>

Whether you will be rooting this Sunday for that dreamboat Jimmy G and his 49ers or the insanely talented Patrick Mahomes and the Chiefs, I think we can all agree on a few things. One- let's just hope its a close game. Two- at least we don’t have to watch the Patriots again. And three- whoever is in charge of snacks better come correct.<o:p></o:p></div>

For those Super Bowl party-goers who are more interested in the commercials and the J-Lo halftime performance (you know who you are…), the afternoon’s snacks become even that much more crucial. So we figured we’d suggest a few new style treats that are bound to impress your guests and make you the hit of the party.<o:p></o:p></div>

First off, we thought we would show you our take on the classic Jello Shot. There are few constants in this crazy and unpredictable world of ours, but i think its safe to say that everyone loves Jello Shots. The original ones, made with vodka or grain alcohol can really sneak up on you and pack quite a punch. So we decided to mellow it out a bit and make two flavors using our canned <a href="https://shop.unionwinecompany.com/collections/underwood/products/underwood-in-a-can-pinot-gris" style="color: purple;">Pinot Gris</a> and<a href="https://shop.unionwinecompany.com/collections/underwood/products/underwood-in-a-can-pinot-noir" style="color: purple;"> Pinot Noir.</a> We had planned on matching team colors, but since its going to be red all the way around, we went a little off script. (Thanks a lot Aaron Rodgers.)<o:p></o:p></div>

You don’t need to be a culinary wizard to pull off Jello, that’s a big part of the allure. Simply combine 1 package of Blue Raspberry Jello with 1 Cup of boiling water. Whisk to combine. Let cool slightly and add 1 C Pinot Noir. Separate into small cups. Makes about 15.<o:p></o:p></div>

Repeat the same steps as above, just use the Strawberry Jello and 1 Cup of boiling water with 1 Cup of Pinot Gris. Both of these turned out delicious and don’t quite pack the punch of the ones you may have had back in your college days. (We all have to get up early on Monday for work!)<o:p></o:p></div>

Another game day favorite is Chex Mix. There are lots of different variation on the classic baked mix and we encourage you to add any ingredients that strike your fancy. We recently discovered the <a href="https://jacobsensalt.com/products/ramen-seasoning" style="color: purple;">Jacobsen Ramen Seasoning</a> and thought we would try something a bit cross cultural. The wasabi peas really add an amazing and unexpected kick.<o:p></o:p></div>

For our final recommendation, we wanted to stick with a tried and true classic- pigs in a blanket. We recently tried some pre-made store bought ones and they were terrible, and crazy expensive. There is no substitute for making them from scratch, and its so easy, there is no excuse not to.<o:p></o:p></div>

Take the Lit’l Smokies out of their packaging, rinse them well, dry them off and set them aside. Then open the crescent rolls. there will be 4 separate squares and each square is divided into 2 triangles. Cut each triangle into 3 smaller triangles. Place a Lit’l Smokey on each triangle, and roll up. Place these evenly spaced on an ungreased cookie sheet and keep refrigerated until ready to cook.<o:p></o:p></div>

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees and cook for about 12 minutes, rotating the pan halfway thru to insure even cooking. Remove any that are getting too brown. Then just squeeze out some ketchup and mustard for dipping and you will be Good To Go!<o:p></o:p></div>

Here at Union, we do our best to stay humble. We don’t believe in putting on airs or pretending to be anything but the best we can be. And we hope this attitude shows through in all of our products. We don’t go out in constant search of the next best coolest thing, but that being said, we are always on the lookout for objects of beauty, style and design. We recently came across this <a class="" href="https://www.crateandbarrel.com/frye-cocktail-shaker/s298546?st=frye%20shaker">Shaker</a> and <a class="" href="https://www.crateandbarrel.com/frye-bar-tool-set/s298617">Bar Set</a> and it was love at first sight. Designed by Leather goods legend Frye, in a collaboration with Crate and Barrel, the acacia wood and antiqued gold finished stainless steel was just too amazing to pass by. </div>

If you are familiar at all with the Portland dining scene, then it's safe to say you've been a fan of Andy Ricker and his <a class="" href="https://pokpokrestaurants.com/">Pok Pok empire</a> for many years. One of the first chefs to bring real street-style Northern Thai food to Portland, Andy led a revolution in the local culinary scene. Starting by cooking out of a literal shack between two houses on SE Division Street, Andy has grown his empire steadily. </div>
<div class="" style="text-align: center;">
<br class="" /></div>
<div class="" style="text-align: center;">
Several years ago he started to bottle and sell his flavored drinking vinegars called SOM. These were very concentrated flavors and meant to be mixed with club soda- a refreshing staple in Thailand that helped easy the spicy heat of the cuisine. From that start, Andy refined the mixer from straight flavored vinegar to cordials, a non alcoholic mixer that’s served the same purpose but was a bit more debonair. You can read a short explanation <a class="" href="https://www.nytimes.com/2019/04/01/dining/drinks/som-cordials-pok-pok-andy-ricker.html">HERE</a> from the New York Times.</div>

We will soon be switching our focus to our Underwood Rosé and Rosé Bubbles, but while winter is still with us, we love creating new Underwood Pinot Noir cocktails. Without the overwhelming notes of cinnamon or nutmeg (kind of overused at this time of year in out humble opinion…) this cocktail keeps the weight of red wine but adds the sweetness of Clementines and the subtle tartness of the Som Cranberry Cordial. Everything is tempered with just a splash of club soda for an intense yet refreshing cocktail.</div>

If you have ever grown zucchini in your own garden or had a neighbor or co-worker who has grown it, you know all too well that right about this time even the smallest zucchini plants start producing like gangbusters and they suddenly become everyone’s favorite gift. And no matter how much you love this particular Italian veggie, there is only so many things to be done with it before it begins to pile up on your counter.<br />
<br />

So in our continuing series, we have dug deep for a lesser know, but absolutely delicious recipe to make great use of those few extra zucchini… (even those really giant ones that nobody really knows what to do with.)</div>
<div class="" style="font-family: Verdana;">
<br class="" /></div>
<div class="" style="font-family: Verdana;">
For this post, we are going to teach you a pretty basic zucchini fritter recipe and a delicious creamy Green Goddess dressing to serve along with it.</div>
<div class="" style="font-family: Verdana;">
<br class="" /></div>
<div class="" style="font-family: Verdana;">
Let's start with the dressing, as it will last several days in the refrigerator. Hopefully you still have a good cache of fresh herbs in the garden, although you may need to pick up a few at the store.</div>

<div class="" style="font-family: Verdana;">
<span class="" style="font-size: 14px;">(recipe makes about 1 pint)</span></div>

<div class="" style="font-family: Verdana;">

<div class="" style="font-family: Verdana;">
INGREDIENTS:</div>
<div class="" style="font-family: Verdana;">
<br class="" /></div>
<div class="" style="font-family: Verdana;">
1/2 C fresh basil leaves</div>
<div class="" style="font-family: Verdana;">
1/2 C fresh dill fronds</div>
<div class="" style="font-family: Verdana;">
1/2 C fresh tarragon leaves</div>
<div class="" style="font-family: Verdana;">
1/2 C fresh italian parsley leaves</div>
<div class="" style="font-family: Verdana;">
3/4 C mayonaise</div>
<div class="" style="font-family: Verdana;">
1/2 C sour cream</div>
<div class="" style="font-family: Verdana;">
2 oz cider vinegar</div>
<div class="" style="font-family: Verdana;">
1/2 C buttermilk</div>
<div class="" style="font-family: Verdana;">
salt and pepper to taste</div>
<div class="" style="font-family: Verdana;">
<br class="" /></div>
<div class="" style="font-family: Verdana;">
Blend all ingredients until smooth. Place in a tupperware container. Let sit in the refrigerator overnight and then adjust for seasoning. Extra dressing is great on grilled meats and fish, as well as most vegetables.</div>

A few months ago, I was chosen to shoot what ended up being the best, most rewarding, most karmically enriching project of my entire career. Zoe Mendell of <a href="https://zoepdx.com/" target="_blank">ZoePDX Design Studio</a> here is Portland was tasked with redesigning the website for <a href="https://vrcvet.com/" target="_blank">VRC Veterinary</a> in Bend. She had a great idea of shooting a series of portraits of pets and their owners to accompany testimonials about what amazing work VRC was doing. And luckily she thought my portrait style would fit really well. It was our first collaboration, but certainly not our last. <br />

<span class="">As Portland expands and more local businesses emerge, we think it's as important as ever to support the local community. </span></div>

<div class="" style="font-family: Verdana;">
<span class=""> Recently, we reached out to chef extraordinaire and Montavilla resident Ben Bettinger to show us what he loves about his neighborhood. Ben is part owner of</span><span class="" style="text-align: start;"> "</span><a class="" href="https://www.yourneighborhoodrg.com/">Your Neighborhood Restaurant Group</a><span class="" style="text-align: start;">”, which includes Laurelhurst Market, La Luna Cafe, Ate-oh-Ate, Reverends BBQ, and Bigs Chicken. He is officially the Executive Chef at Laurelhurst Market as well.</span></div>

<div class="" style="font-family: Verdana;">
<span class="">Having recently moved to the East side of Mt. Tabor, Ben often hits up the<a class="" href="http://www.montavillamarket.org/?doing_wp_cron=1566408850.7542850971221923828125"> Montavilla Farmers Market</a> (Sunday 10-2) for all the local produce he needs to create a beautiful dinner for his wife Autumn and son Reed… as well as friends that might stop by. We tasked him with creating a fresh and delicious summer meal that would pair well with </span> Union’s <a class="" href="https://shop.unionwinecompany.com/collections/underwood/products/2017-underwood-rose-bubbles-wine">Underwood Rose Bubbles</a>… and oh boy, what a feast he whipped up!</div>

Montavilla Market is one of the smaller local weekend markets, but offers many options. For stone fruit alone, Fulton Farms has beautiful peaches and nectarines as does Baird Farms. They also offer lots of activities for the kids, including face painting, which Reed took full advantage of.</div>

Okay, the shopping is done, so let's get to creating some beautiful dishes. I personally lucked out, and since Ben and his wife had friends in town, my wife and I were invited over for a truly outstanding Sunday Dinner with the Bettingers. I will let Ben tell you in his own words what was on the menu and how you can make it for yourselves next weekend!</div>

<div class="">
I chose Albacore tuna because it pairs so well with Rosé and I seasoned the albacore tuna with a spice mix that I refer to as my All Purpose spice mix.</div>
<div class="">
<br class="" /></div>
<div class="">
<b class="">AP Spice mix:</b></div>
<div class="">
equal parts of the following - I grind all these together in a coffee grinder</div>
<div class="">
Cumin Seed</div>
<div class="">
Yellow Mustard Seed </div>
<div class="">
Corriander </div>
<div class="">
Black Pepper </div>
<div class="">
Fennel Seed</div>
<div class="">
<br class="" /></div>
<div class="">
Generously coat the fish with olive oil and liberally sprinkle with the Spice mix.</div>

Tuna does best on a hot grill. I love these albacore loins because they are so easy to grill whole and slice for a quick backyard BBQ. Top them generously with the Nectarine, Onion and tomato Relish. </div>

<strong class="">Heirloom Tomatoes and Grilled Summer Vegetables, Basil and Aged Balsamic</strong></div>
<div class="">
</div>
<div class="">
<i class="">This is a quick and easy dish that can be put together with any summer vegetables that you may get at the farmers market. Tomato season is here so that was a no brainer. For this dish, i sliced the tomatoes into 1/2 inch slices, keeping them raw. I also chose to use Eggplant, Summer Squash and Onion. These vegetables were coated with olive oil, seasoned with salt and pepper, grilled, arranged over the sliced tomatoes and then drizzled with olive oil, aged balsamic and torn basil leaves.</i></div>
<div class="">
<i class=""><br class="" /></i></div>
<div class="">
<i class="">In this dish, i tried to take the major flavors of a ratatouille and deconstruct it to better enjoy large chunks of the vegetables, as well as mixing fresh with grilled.</i></div>

I cooked the Potatoes in salted water until just tender(easily pierced with a fork),cut the down the middle, then sautéed them in a cast iron pan with olive, salt and pepper. Add chanterelles to the pan and a touch more olive oil and gently stir them together, re-season, add chopped garlic, oregano and parsley and a hearty squeeze of lemon. </div>

<strong class="">Grilled Sweet Corn, Seed & Chile Flake Butter, Cilantro Salt</strong></div>
<div class="">
<strong class=""><br class="" /></strong></div>
<div class="">
<em class="">Grilling Corn can be done many ways. I chose to grill them whole in the husk, then peel back that husk once they fully cooked, this gives the flavor of being grilled without drying out the corn too much. </em></div>
<div class="">
You can't have corn without butter so I placed a stick of soft butter in a small mason jar, and seasoned it with 1 T sesame seeds, 1 T poppy seeds and and a pinch of red pepper flakes. I reserved a few tablespoons of butter and poured it over the soft butter and seeds right before eating.</div>

Now that summer is in full swing, gardeners all over the country are seeing their hard work and dedication beginning to finally bear fruit…. and vegetables and herbs. And once the bounty begins, it can really produce a lot of produce very quickly… if ya know what i mean. Even if you aren’t a gardener, your local farmers markets are also beginning to explode with beautiful, colorful fruit and veggies. </div>
<div class="" style="font-family: Verdana; font-size: 12px; text-align: center;">
<br class="" /></div>
<div class="" style="font-family: Verdana; font-size: 12px; text-align: center;">
So here are Union, we decided to run a series of posts about fun, easy recipes to put all that great freshly grown produce to use. For us, Gazpacho is one of the simplest but most pure ways to really celebrate the freshness of the season. There is absolutely no cooking required. Just a little prepping and then a whole lot of blending.</div>
<div class="" style="font-family: Verdana; font-size: 12px; text-align: center;">
<br class="" /></div>
<div class="" style="font-family: Verdana; font-size: 12px; text-align: center;">
Most people are familiar with the classic Andalusian tomato gazpacho, but there are several other recipes that are just as delicious. With any gazpacho, there is a lot of room for interpretation, so we welcome you to follow our recipes, but we urge you to try your own tweaks or additions. Also, there is a wide variation on the texture of gazpacho. We personally like a chunky gazpacho, as you will see in the following photos, but if you prefer a smoother texture, it's as simple as just blending longer.</div>
<div class="" style="font-family: Verdana; font-size: 12px; text-align: center;">
<br class="" /></div>
<div class="" style="font-family: Verdana; font-size: 12px; text-align: center;">
So without further ado, we present a trio of gazpachos: Tomato, Cucumber and Watermelon.</div>

Peel half the cucumber and remove the seeds. Chop all vegetables into manageable pieces and place in a baking dish. Pour the olive oil and sherry vinegar over the veggies. Season with salt and pepper, mix well and let sit for 10 minutes. If you have a large blender, such as a ‘Vitamix’, you can put everything in together. If you are working with a smaller blender, blend in batches, trying to get equal amounts of all ingredients in each batch. Blend to desired consistency and refrigerate. When ready to serve, garnish with a drizzle of olive oil and some fresh herbs, such as cilantro or basil.

Peel half of each cucumber. (This will allow for a little texture with the skin, but not too much.) Cut the cucumbers down the middle and remove all seeds. Chop all veggies into manageable pieces. As stated above, if you have a large blender, such as a ‘Vitamix’, you can put everything in together. If you are working with a smaller blender, blend in batches, trying to get equal amounts of all ingredients in each batch. It is okay to add the lime juice and yogurt at the same time as the veggies. Season with salt and pepper and blend to your desired texture. Keep refrigerated. When ready to serve, garnish with some finely diced cucumber and a mint sprig. Enjoy with an ice cold can of <a class="" href="https://shop.unionwinecompany.com/collections/underwood/products/underwood-in-a-can-pinot-gris">Underwood Pinot Gris.</a></div>

Strawberry season goes by way too quickly, but here at Union we aren’t quite ready to say goodbye just yet! </div>
<div class="" style="font-family: Verdana; font-size: 12px; text-align: center;">

<div class="" style="font-family: Verdana; font-size: 12px; text-align: center;">
We have recently discovered (and fallen in love with) some of our local Tillamook Creamery’s Special Batch ice cream, gelato and custards. We thought it would be interesting to pair strawberries with their <a class="" href="https://www.tillamook.com/ice-cream/special/sea-salt-honeycomb-toffee.html">Sea Salt & Honeycomb Toffee Custard</a>…. and it worked amazingly. To sweeten the deal, we created a simple yet very complex tasting Strawberry Cooler Syrup, which really highlights the salty crunchy bits of toffee in the creamy custard.</div>

The syrup is very simple to make, and will stay good for weeks in the refrigerator.</div>

STEP ONE:</div>
<div class="" style="font-family: Verdana; font-size: 12px; text-align: center;">
<br class="" /></div>
<div class="" style="font-family: Verdana; font-size: 12px; text-align: center;">
Pour a can of the Cooler into a wide, heavy bottomed pot and bring to a boil. If adding the sugar, do so at this time. Stir until the sugar is dissolved so it doesn’t stick to the bottom of the pot.</div>
<div class="" style="font-family: Verdana; font-size: 12px; text-align: center;">

<div class="">
Immediately reduce to a simmer and continue to cook, uncovered, for 15 minutes.</div>

<br class="" /></div>
<div class="" style="font-family: Verdana; font-size: 12px; text-align: center;">
After 15 minutes, place the strawberries (stems removed), mint and peppercorns into the pot and continue to simmer for another 15 minutes or until almost all of the liquid has been evaporated.</div>
<div class="" style="font-family: Verdana; font-size: 12px; text-align: center;">

<br class="" /></div>
<div class="" style="font-family: Verdana; font-size: 12px; text-align: center;">
Strain liquid immediately into a bowl and refrigerate until ready to use. Once cooled, scoop out some custard (or your favorite Tillamook ice cream flavor), add a few strawberries and a healthy drizzle of the syrup.</div>

During these hot summer months, there is very little as refreshing as an ice cold <a class="" href="https://shop.unionwinecompany.com/collections/underwood/products/underwood-riesling-radler">Underwood Riesling Radler</a>. Its light, grapefruit infused white wine flavor makes for a solid afternoon beverage. But that got us thinking about how else we could bring the flavor of one of our favorite cans to life.</div>
<div class="" style="font-family: Verdana; font-size: 12px; text-align: center;">

<div class="" style="font-family: Verdana; font-size: 12px; text-align: center;">
Enter the Granita. An Italian flavored ice dessert, it is similar to sorbet but instead of needing an ice cream maker, Granita can be made simply with a pan and a fork for mixing. Often served as an intermezzo, Granita also makes a delicious and refreshing dessert. We decided to pair our Radler Granita with grilled pineapple as both can be done in advance when entertaining. This recipe will serve 4-6 people.</div>

STEP ONE:</div>
<div class="" style="font-family: Verdana; font-size: 12px; text-align: center;">
<br class="" /></div>
<div class="" style="font-family: Verdana; font-size: 12px; text-align: center;">
Preheat your grill.</div>
<div class="" style="font-family: Verdana; font-size: 12px; text-align: center;">
Peel your fresh pineapple and slice into rounds that are roughly 1/2 an inch thick. </div>
<div class="" style="font-family: Verdana; font-size: 12px; text-align: center;">
Lightly brush slices with canola oil and grill on both sides for about 5 minutes per side.*</div>
<div class="" style="font-family: Verdana; font-size: 12px; text-align: center;">
Let slices cool and then keep in a container in the fridge until ready to serve.</div>
<div class="" style="font-family: Verdana; font-size: 12px; text-align: center;">
<br class="" /></div>
<div class="" style="font-family: Verdana; font-size: 12px; text-align: center;">
(*To achieve the “crosshatching” grilled effect, simply turn the slice 45 degrees halfway through the grilling process.)</div>
<div class="" style="font-family: Verdana; font-size: 12px; text-align: center;">
<br class="" /></div>
<div class="" style="font-family: Verdana; font-size: 12px; text-align: center;">

<br class="" /></div>
<div class="" style="font-family: Verdana; font-size: 12px; text-align: center;">
STEP TWO:</div>
<div class="" style="font-family: Verdana; font-size: 12px; text-align: center;">
<br class="" /></div>
<div class="" style="font-family: Verdana; font-size: 12px; text-align: center;">
In a medium sized metal or ceramic dish, pour:</div>
<div class="" style="font-family: Verdana; font-size: 12px; text-align: center;">
<br class="" /></div>
<div class="" style="font-family: Verdana; font-size: 12px; text-align: center;">
1 can of Riesling Radler</div>
<div class="" style="font-family: Verdana; font-size: 12px; text-align: center;">
1 oz fresh lime juice</div>
<div class="" style="font-family: Verdana; font-size: 12px; text-align: center;">
1 1/2 oz simple syrup</div>
<div class="" style="font-family: Verdana; font-size: 12px; text-align: center;">
<br class="" /></div>
<div class="" style="font-family: Verdana; font-size: 12px; text-align: center;">
Place dish in the freezer. Set your timer for 20 minutes.</div>
<div class="" style="font-family: Verdana; font-size: 12px; text-align: center;">
When the timer goes off, stir the liquid gently with a fork to begin incorporating the frozen bits into the liquid. This is done to create a shaved ice texture, and not have the liquid freeze into a solid sheet.</div>
<div class="" style="font-family: Verdana; font-size: 12px; text-align: center;">
Continue this process, remembering to set your timer and stirring every twenty minutes or so. After about and hour, you will see the liquid becoming quite slushy.</div>
<div class="" style="font-family: Verdana; font-size: 12px; text-align: center;">

<div class="" style="font-family: Verdana; font-size: 12px; text-align: center;">

<br class="" /></div>
<div class="" style="font-family: Verdana; font-size: 12px; text-align: center;">
Continue this process until Granita is completely frozen and there is no more liquid in the pan.</div>
<div class="" style="font-family: Verdana; font-size: 12px; text-align: center;">
At this point, you can transfer the Granita to a quart container. This will save room in your freezer and also make scooping it out easier.</div>

Of all the seasons here in Oregon, the absolute best one has to be Strawberry season! Oregon Strawberries are nothing like the ones you see around the country, (or on the rest of the West Coast for that matter.) A good bit smaller in size, Oregon strawberries pack a bright red center and a flavor that will put a giant smile on your face.</div>
<div class="">
<br class="" /></div>
<div class="">
The strawberry season here lasts only a few weeks, so we recommend not letting it pass you by. Of course you can go to plenty of local markets and co-ops around town and get beautiful pints of berries, but for the true fans, nothing compares to packing up the family, making the drive out to Sauvie Island and spending an hour or so in the fields picking your own. Besides from saving tons of money, its a family activity that everyone can enjoy.</div>
<div class="">
<br class="" /></div>
<div class="">
For this adventure, we inlisted the help of the Alexander Family. Walter is a North Carolina native and one of the original owners of <a class="" href="http://www.pinestatebiscuits.com/">Pine State Biscuits</a> and Darcie is one of the best local real estate agents (and the one my wife and I hired) with <a class="" href="http://pdxgreenteam.com/">PDX Green Team</a>.</div>
<div class="">
<br class="" /></div>
<div class="">
There are plenty of local farms that allow you to pick your own. We chose one of our favorites, <a class="" href="http://www.columbiafarmsu-pick.com/">Columbia Farms</a>, on the far side of Sauvie Island, but they are all pretty great. </div>

Once you get out into the fields, the different varieties are marked with color coded flags for easy identification. Some types are better for baking, some are better for straight munching. We love Hoods the best, but we encourage you to do a little taste test once you get into the fields, illustrated quite subtly here by the Alexander children, Hazel and Lewis.</div>

And while the kids are busy picking and munching a few berries, we encourage the adults in the group to quench their thirsts with our <a class="" href="https://shop.unionwinecompany.com/collections/underwood/products/underwood-strawberry-cooler">Strawberry Cooler.</a> Made with Pinot Noir and just a hint of lime juice, this punch is not super sweet or overly intense but a perfect balance of sweet and tart. And it’s low alcohol content makes it perfect for an afternoon out with the family.</div>

As we liked to say, Pinot Noir + Oregon Strawberries + Cranberry Juice + Lime = for all summer long. </div>

As Portlanders, we often forget that a gorgeous river runs straight through our fair city. We get so distracted crossing from one side to the other, that the simple act of sitting on its banks and enjoying an afternoon with a friend can get lost in the shuffle.</div>

There are great hidden (and not so hidden) parks all along the Willamette River from St. Johns to Lake Oswego to Oregon City. We recommend this summer that you do a little exploring and rediscover a few of these locales. We would certainly be remiss if we were to send you out on a Lewis-and-Clark-Style-Pacific-Northwest-Expedition without an appropriate beverage to enjoy once you’ve found your spot.</div>

So allow us to introduce our new favorite summertime punch, the ‘Blueberry Fields Forever’ White Wine Sangria. We know that life is hectic, and sometimes the best plans are made at the last minute, so this recipe should fit those situations perfectly. With just a little prep the night before, you can be enjoying a colorful and fruity glass of this Sangria by the following afternoon.</div>

<div class="" style="font-family: Verdana; font-size: 12px; text-align: center;">
<span class="" style="font-size: 14px;">STEP ONE:</span></div>
<div class="" style="font-family: Verdana; font-size: 12px; text-align: center;">
<span class="" style="font-size: 14px;"><br class="" /></span></div>
<div class="" style="font-family: Verdana; font-size: 12px; text-align: center;">
In a large Mason Jar, combine:</div>
<div class="" style="font-family: Verdana; font-size: 12px; text-align: center;">
<br class="" /></div>
<div class="" style="font-family: Verdana; font-size: 12px; text-align: center;">
3/4 C of white rum</div>
<div class="" style="font-family: Verdana; font-size: 12px; text-align: center;">
1/2 C simple syrup</div>
<div class="" style="font-family: Verdana; font-size: 12px; text-align: center;">
Juice of 2 limes</div>
<div class="" style="font-family: Verdana; font-size: 12px; text-align: center;">
Juice of 1 large orange</div>
<div class="" style="font-family: Verdana; font-size: 12px; text-align: center;">
1 C frozen blueberries</div>
<div class="" style="font-family: Verdana; font-size: 12px; text-align: center;">
1/2 C orange slices cut into small triangles.</div>
<div class="" style="font-family: Verdana; font-size: 12px; text-align: center;">
3 sprigs of mint</div>
<div class="" style="font-family: Verdana; font-size: 12px; text-align: center;">
<br class="" /></div>
<div class="" style="font-family: Verdana; font-size: 12px; text-align: center;">
Let this macerate in your fridge overnight. Call a friend and tell them where to meet you the next afternoon….</div>

<span class="" style="font-size: 14px;"><br class="" /></span></div>
<div class="" style="font-family: Verdana; font-size: 12px; text-align: center;">
Once you’ve found a suitable spot, pull out your Mason jar and add 2 cans of <a class="" href="https://shop.unionwinecompany.com/collections/underwood/products/underwood-in-a-can-pinot-gris">Union’s Underwood Pinot Gris</a>. For our less coordinated explorers, feel free to add one can at a time. But since we are pros….</div>

<div class="" style="font-family: Verdana; font-size: 12px; text-align: center;">
<span class="" style="font-size: 14px;">STEP THREE:</span></div>
<div class="" style="font-family: Verdana; font-size: 12px; text-align: center;">
<span class="" style="font-size: 14px;"><br class="" /></span></div>
<div class="" style="font-family: Verdana; font-size: 12px; text-align: center;">
Fill two smaller Mason jars with ice. </div>

<br class="" /></div>
<div class="" style="font-family: Verdana; font-size: 12px; text-align: center;">
Pour each about three quarters full of the sangria and then top off with sparkling water or club soda. Mix well, making sure you get plenty of blueberries and orange slices in each glass. Garnish with a fresh mint sprig.</div>

This year I was tasked with putting some serious effort into the <a href="https://unionwinecompany.com/field-notes/">Union Wine Co. FIELD NOTES</a> This is a part of their site that tells employee stories, showcases recipes and cocktails as well as a few cool How To’s…</div>

Here at Union, we really try to consider ourselves more of a family than just a workforce. And as such, we encourage and support everyone in their passions and side projects.</div>
<div class="" style="text-align: center;">
<br class="" /></div>
<div class="" style="text-align: center;">
Allow us to introduce Amy Carr. By day, Amy is the Union Logistics and Compliance/Customer Service Supervisor. She has been part of the Union family for about 5 years, beginning at our sister vineyard, <a class="" href="http://www.amityvineyards.com/">Amity</a> before moving over full time to Union. When Amy was only 12 years old, her father gave her a copy of Nick Hornby’s (best) novel <a class="" href="https://www.powells.com/book/-9781573225519">High Fidelity</a>, which introduced her to a main character who is always striving to share the classic music he loves and the new bands he discovers. </div>
<div class="" style="text-align: center;">
<br class="" /></div>
<div class="" style="text-align: center;">
And so a seed was planted…...</div>
<div class="" style="text-align: center;">
<br class="" /></div>
<div class="" style="text-align: center;">
Fast Forward to early 2015. A few of Amy’s friends decided to found <a class="" href="https://www.freeformportland.org/">FREEFORM PORTLAND</a> , an entirely independent, community sponsored, non profit, freeform radio station. Going live the following year, they broadcast on 90.3 and also 98.3 FM from the NE Alberta Area. Being officially a “low-power” FM station, their radio broadcast range is only about 5 square miles, but lucky for us we live in the digital age, so everyone can enjoy their full array of programming at <a class="" href="http://freeformportland.org/listen">FreeformPortland.org/listen</a>.</div>

DJs are free to play music from records, tapes, CDs or digital files. There are no commercials or talk programs. Generally, the only speaking you will hear are the DJs identifying their chosen songs during music set breaks, although there are some great “in studio” band interviews from time to time. All songs from every show are also listed on their website.</div>

Two pretty amazing things that FFP can boast is that A) it is absolutely 100% volunteer run and B) it is absolutely 100% live programming, meaning no prerecorded shows. There is a live DJ playing music in the booth 24 hours a day, 7 days a week! </div>

At the station, Amy goes by the handle DJ Stellar Luna. Her show, “<a class="" href="https://www.freeformportland.org/program/?show_name=nightlight">Nightlight</a>” runs on alternating Mondays from 10 PM to midnight. Amy’s playlist differs every week focusing mostly on Neo Psychedelia, New Wave, Hip-Hop and Latin. Asked what some of her favorite bands are, Amy mentioned, in no particular order:</div>
<div class="">
<br class="" /></div>
<div class="">
La Femme (which she plays at least one song by during every show)</div>
<div class="">
Bomba Estereo</div>
<div class="">
LCD Soundsystem</div>
<div class="">
Thee Oh Sees</div>
<div class="">
Echo & the Bunnymen</div>
<div class="">
<br class="" /></div>
<div class="">
<div class="">
Amy was drawn to the radio station for many of the same reasons that she was drawn to Union…each puts a great emphasis on authenticity and a truly meaningful refection of the community.</div>

This year I was tasked with putting some serious effort into the <a href="https://unionwinecompany.com/field-notes/">Union Wine Co. FIELD NOTES</a> This is a part of their site that tells employee stories, showcases recipes and cocktails as well as a few cool How To’s…</div>

One of our favorite (and more obscure) vintage cocktails is a slight variation on the classic daiquiri, called an Airmail. It's a simple cocktail that packs a surprisingly impressive punch. Originating in Cuba in the 1930s, this simple mix of rum, lime and honey creates an elegant base to accentuate with ice cold sparkling wine. Whether pouring single cocktails or making up a batch for friends, this easy and light cocktail is always guaranteed to impress.</div>

To help with this cocktail, we enlisted the skills of perfume maker extraordinaire and amateur mixologist Josh Meyer, founder of <a class="" href="https://imaginaryauthors.com/">Imaginary Authors</a> </div>

We are big fans of<a class="" href="https://www.beelocal.com/"> Bee Local</a> honey, brought to you by the fine folks at Jacobsen Salt Co.</div>
<div class="">

<div class="">
To make the syrup, put 4 oz of honey in a heavy bottomed pot with 4 oz of water. Gently warm, constantly stirring until al the honey is dissolved. </div>

According to Josh, the best Imaginary Authors scent to accompany an afternoon of drinking the Airmail cocktail is <a class="" href="https://imaginaryauthors.com/product/saint-julep/">St. Julep</a> With notes of Tangerine, Southern Magnolia, Grisalva and Crushed Ice, this sweet and inviting scent will take you right back to the the cafes of 1930s Havana, laughing and drinking while trading war stories with a tipsy Ernest Hemingway.</div>

There is a particular Portland phenomenon we have been noticing for years. Every Spring there is one weekend where, with no conscious cues or communication, everyone in town decides it's time to cut the grass. It's that first perfect weekend, when the rain has let up, the grass is a little too tall and healthy, and so the ol’ lawnmower gets dusted off, gassed up and put to task.</div>
<div class="" style="font-family: Verdana; font-size: 12px; text-align: center;">
<br class="" /></div>
<div class="" style="font-family: Verdana; font-size: 12px; text-align: center;">
During that weekend (which just by coincidence happened to be last weekend), all of Portland is filled with that unmistakably sweet, musky scent of freshly cut grass. The kids are playing in the yard, the parks are full and Spring has officially Sprung.</div>

Enter Lucas Plant…. bartender and cook extraordinaire, Navy man, father and all around charming guy. Lucas has worked at many of the best spots in Portland, from Clyde Common to Central to Oven & Shaker. Currently, Lucas is a “luxury spirits broker” for Coastal Pacific, but he is also part owner of <a class="" href="http://www.bullinchinapdx.com/">Bull In China</a> We asked Lucas to create a cocktail that captured the happiness of the first weekend of Spring and all the nostalgic flavors it evokes. </div>
