Portland Seafood & Wine Festival. Scheduled in the quiet of winter, and smack dab in the middle of the Dungeness Crab season, this promises to be a popular event in Portland, the gateway to the Oregon coast and the Oregon wine country. The event will be a very upscale yet festive at the Oregon Convention Center, promising a climate-controlled facility with lots of on-site and surrounding parking.  Over 98,000 square feet of exhibit space will allow for lots of room to wander while stopping to sit and enjoy the good food, drink and live music throughout the event. Food item prices range from $1 and up. Wine sampling starts at .50 and prices for menu items varies from $2 to $15.00.  The first 500 people each day through the gates receive a commemorative wine glass to use at the festival and then take home with you. Portions of the $12 admission charge go to the Oregon Chapter of the National MS Society. There will be a $2 discount price on tickets purchased within the first 2 hours of the festival each day.  Tickets $10-$12.
