Adega Northwest

If you like different styles of wine at high quality, try out this boutique winery in the Brooklyn neighborhood. They mainly specialize in cabs and some Portuguese varieties, but they do everything from Malbec to Chardonnay. Its all top quality and the owner is super knowledgeable and passionate. A real find.

We found Adega Northwest because of their membership in PDX Urban Wineries, an association of Portland winemakers supporting each other. Adega is a true Urban production facility, with a few high top tables for tasting and a lot of barrels for the actual making of what you're drinking. The wines are inspired by European varietals, and are mostly reds. A very happy exception is an Alvarinho/Albarino, a white wine most often found in NW Spain, in the Rias Baixas area of Galicia. The reds will all sound more familiar. After a tasting, the biggest challenge was narrowing down the list of which bottles would be coming home with us. There were no wrong answers. Their hours are mostly just weekends and by appointment, and I'd suggest checking the website and calling ahead, as it is very much a working winery and not just a tasting room.
