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. Joining host Claudia Meza on this week’s Friday news roundup is Geoff Norcross, co-host of OPB’s All Things Considered (and previously, for 15 years, the host of OPB’s Morning Edition), along with our very own executive producer, John Notarianni.
