Wonder what Frank Bruni was eating/doing right before flying to Portland and hanging with our own Mike Thelin? According to his New York Mag food diary, Bruni's week leading up to his west coast jaunt included downing Red Bulls and (literally) icing a "nondescript Washington state Chardonnay," because "when you're going downscale to the tune of this particular Chardonnay, you might as well."
