Portland: Up On The Roof 

6/17/2012

Let's start at the very beginning. It's a very good place to start.
On a red, you stop as you wait for the green.
On a roof, you sip as you sit with a scene.

If you're looking for a vessel for shaping wine (in the form of an oak barrel) or a view for sipping wine (in the form of a rooftop), my dear friend and a most talented professional in the oak barrel business, Nicholas Keeler, provided me with a different perspective of Portland. This came in the form of scenery, seating & sipping.

the scenery

I wondered if Portland should have instead been officially titled The Emerald City,
as I've never seen a metropolis more magnificent in terms of the green hues
that highlight the cityscape.

the seating

Surrounded by the elements
(glass, wood, concrete & leather as well),
a more ideal place to "park it"
can't be found in the city.
With the support of such surroundings,
any proud posture will be humbled
and seduced to slouch in style.

the sipping

It wasn't long ago that I wrote
an "Ode To Chardonnay".
This bottle of Grand Cru Chablis
from Domaine Christian Moreau
inspired me to recite as I reveled
in the view and the vino
that enhanced the moment.

After the scenery, seating & sipping, the rest of the evening included the following:

Online reading is not my thing. But after reading your blog I am really pleased. I don’t know about other blogs but this I will definitely keep coming back to.

Sounds like a great evening. I would love to be on that rooftop sipping wine. I go to a place that is similar to this one in Atlanta, although the view is not quite the same.
