Winemakers Sue Over Smoky Grapes, Rare Coastal Creatures, and Don’t Eat Those Mussels!

Today on City Cast Portland, we’re talking about all the weird things washing up on our nearby coastal shores, a local outbreak of shellfish poisoning, and winemakers taking aim at PacifiCorp for their ruined harvest during the 2020 wildfires.
