At Pat The Wine Guy, we're not selling anything. Just providing free recommendations on good wine buys, usually between $15-$30, and where you can find them in the Portland-metro area. PTWG is a passion project. We like wine. We like helping friends find a good bottle or two in the dreaded grocery "wall of wine". We aren't tied to any store, distributor, or winery. If it's a good bottle in our price range and it's on the shelf around town, we'll tell you about it. In return, if you like one of our recommendations, please let us know. Thanks!
