DETAILS: Visit Helm for their Champagne and Oyster pairing during their weeklong Portland Wine Week offering where they will be serving up six different Maine Oysters served with rhubarb mignonette with a glass of the Robert Barbichon, Blancs de Noirs, Champagne (Pinot Noir, Pinot Meunier). And may we suggest you never leave Helm without also ordering their out-of-this-world Johnny Cakes (especially with this champagne and oysters).

Helm Oyster Bar & Bistro is an ode to the coast and farmland offering an intimate dining room, bar, and seasonal outdoor patio along Portland’s historic waterfront. Their raw bar offers a selection of shellfish and seafood such as oysters, clams, and crudo and a full menu that changes frequently to reflect seasonal and locally-sourced availability.

COST: $55 for a glass of Robert Barbichon, Blancs de Noirs, Champagne + 6 Maine Oysters
