Portland Anniversary Trip: A Vineyard, A Lighthouse, and Some Gastronomic Delights

Our anniversary trip to Portland this July turned out to be quite a wonderful experience. It reminded me of Mumbai to Goa getaways back in India, mostly because of the short flight from Los Angeles and the laid-back pace of Portland.

My boss Jim first mentioned Pedaler’s Fork in Calabasas to me a couple of years ago when we were looking for a lunch spot. While we couldn’t get lunch there at that point as we had arrived during a time they were only serving coffee, I was able to go there a few months later […]
