At Thirst Wine Bar & Bistro, location and wine are everything. The outdoor patio is located downtown on the bank of the Columbia River, and during the summer it bustles with wine lovers sipping vino. During winter, the view can be enjoyed from the elegant indoor dining room through the restaurant’s giant glass windows. Special attention is paid to local wines, and Oregon wine country provides significant inspiration: its selection of Pinot Noir and Pinot Gris is always offered by the glass. Many menu items are geared toward accompanying the wines, combining American dishes with fine-dining techniques from Italy and France; but the wine and location are the real stars here.

Review Title: Mr. Foodiesnooty visits Giorgio's
Best squash ravioli or tortellini I've ever had, and the lamb shank was delectable. Everything was fresh, hot and delicious, from the appertizers, to the salads to the desserts. Definitely a strong recommendation!
