My Job at 'In Good Taste'

Serving, hosting, pouring wine, doing dishes, etc. -- none of which you'll see here.... but this is the more photo worthy aspect. Enjoy!














There are two locations. One in the Pear District in down town Portland, the other is in Lake Oswego. I serve during classes at both as well as work retail at the Pearl location. We have both demonstration classes and hands on classes.

I really like the area of Portland I live in. The neighborhood I actually live in is called Rose City Park Neighborhood, but i'm always riding my bike through the Hollywood District to get to down town and I go there for grocery shopping, church and the Saturday farmer's market. I also thoroughly enjoy exploring other areas of the city such as neighborhoods in South East Portland (Hawthorn District & Belmont District), the parks and recently Alberty Art District. It's fun making discoveries of neat places like Sauvie Island and Cathedral park as well. It's pretty hard to get borred in this city if you're willing to step outside your door and look around. I've really only taken the first step, there is so much more to see and get involved in.

Concert in Rose City Park




This post shows part of my ride to school or work in down town Portland. It was fun coming across this concert in the park right near my apartment one night riding home. Lot's of people dancing and enjoying the music.
