Nestled in the Tacoma's Proctor District you'll find a lovely little wine bar aptly named Pour at Four. This gem features an impressive and delightful wine list paired with gourmet culinary treats. The menu consists of a fair amount of shareable like flatbreads, cheese platters and the like, perfect when sipping on all types of varietals as well as some entrees, all using quality, fresh ingredients and highlighting complex flavor combinations.

During my visit I nibbled up their Sirloin Bleu Flatbread Pizza ($8). Upon a round crisp flatbread lay tender marinated tips of sirloin beef with tasty caramelized onions, earthy notes from a Stilton bleu cheese and a chimichurri sauce laying the foundation and bringing it all together. Each component of the dish lent its own personality making the dish complex without being intimidating. Paired with my glass of red it was wonderful and seemed an appropriate pairing for Valentine's weekend indulgence.

The service staff is always knowledgeable when it comes to their varietals and can recommend ideal pairings with each dish.

Pour at Four also hosts weekly tasting events featuring rotating varietals both locally and internationally sourced as well as regular daily specials using the freshest ingredients for those who feel like straying from the staples.
