As Josh Bergström, owner of Bergström Wines in Dundee, Ore., says, “When Oregonians think about our wines, we think about our foods like the hazelnut, chanterelles and Dungeness crab. It’s one of the pillars of our local foods that we really cherish. It’s unique and so special.”
While crabs are available most of the year, the biggest ones are caught during the winter and spring. Read more about these coastal delicacies, plus get tips for how to buy them and wine-pairing ideas.
