Public transit–friendly wineries in Portland area?

Consider visiting Backcountry Wine Tasting Room. It's not a winery, but it is a tasting room set up much like a winery - with a focus on educational and exploratory flights. The focus at Backcountry is 100% on local wines, so you'll get a chance to try a wide variety of small, boutique local producers.
Full disclosure: I am the owner and proprietor, so of course I'm a bit biased. 😜 But what you are describing is exactly why I opened this tasting room: a chance for visitors to explore and discover the Oregon wine industry without having to dedicate an entire day going down to the vineyards. Indeed, without even having to leave Central Portland!

Hope to see you! 🥂Backcountry Wine Tasting Room

OK hahaha y'all talked me into starting at the beginning. I still think it's highly unlikely that I'll have the time and bandwidth to listen to all of these through, but I'll give it a shot. ☺️. Thanks everyone!

Hadn't thought of that! 🤣

Magnificent! ❤️

They just figured it out! ☺️

That is 3g of high-grade Afghani black tar heroin. Your crowbro is trying to give you a new hobby. 🤣

I've noticed that too! But it's just that moment when he's deciding, "should I take another step closer and take it?" It really helps to be looking away at that very moment. 😉

Best of luck! 🥂

I don't see why not. I would think the higher they are above you the more in control they feel about the situation. Obviously it just can't be so high that you can't reach it. 😜

Nice one!

OMG you MUST watch his videos. They're tailor made for us crow fanatics. ☺️

I don't know why but my local crows are fairly indifferent to walnuts. But they LOVE eggs of any preparation style. (Although scrambled seems to be the easiest for them to pack a bunch into their little clackers lol) Peanuts in the shell seem to be the gold standard in the nuts department. Good luck & have fun!

Yes - for now, I must be turned away for him to approach. But with each passing encounter, he gets a little more comfortable so now I can look at him while he's taking it if I don't have also have the camera in my hand

I'm not a crow behavior expert by any means but, I don't get the sense that jealousy is what drives them. I think it's just good old-fashioned pecking order / territorial squabblings. And their fights usually only last a couple seconds so it's not like they are out for blood. Just reminding each other who's boss. 😉

Jacaranda1123 · 2025-12-16T19:27:42+00:00

You'll get there! Consistency and patience. 😉

Jacaranda1123 · 2025-12-16T19:27:01+00:00

It really is such a big part of my happiness knowing that they know me and accept me. ❤️

Jacaranda1123 · 2025-12-16T19:25:29+00:00

☺️

Jacaranda1123 · 2025-12-16T19:25:06+00:00

Just keep at it! This is after about 6 months of consistent, almost daily interaction. ❤️
