Alright friends, the “Breakfast for Dinner” menu is finally here, and we are super excited about it!  We anticipate being able to sit outside on the porch with heaters, surrounded by the sights, smells and sounds of spring. If it’s truly wretched out then we’ll be inside.

As I was putting together this menu, memories of many brunches at the now closed Caiolas of the West End of Portland dominated my brain.  Nothing will ever top brunch at Caiolas - the dishes were perfect, eating outside behind the restaurant, young without the financial and emotional commitment of children, immersed in the food/hospitality scene of that time… It was a good time in my life.  So, this menu is a tribute to that time… 

1.

Homage to Caiolas Brunch

spinach salad with gorgonzola, crispy bacon, tarragon egg salad, fried shallots

“flower power mimosa”

2.

shrimp congee, herbs, chili crisp, mixed greens

“green bloody mary”

3.

“breakfast martini”

goldies gin, citrus, marmalade vermouth

4.

We are loving our Full Service Fridays!  This time around we want to highlight some of the spirits producers that we use behind the bar. So, the makers of Portland’s Goldies Gin AND Handshake amaro will be here to hang!  We will be featuring these two products in ALL of our cocktails, AND even some of the food!  Think Goldies Gin gravlax, and Handshake Amaro tiramisu… AND, the porch will officially be open and ready for ya! Come on down! No reservations necessary. Stay tuned for the final beverage and food menus…

The age old debate: Shaken or stirred? When do you shake a cocktail? And when do you stir one?!?!! We will go over the science behind these techniques, and experiment with the differences through the lens of some traditional shaken vs stirred cocktails. Who knows, you may even see James Bond show up at this class! Class is scheduled for Thursday 4/10 at 5:30pm. $45 per person includes drinks and snacks, but not tax and gratuity. Call the Vine to sign up!
