My wife and I recently moved from London. She’s British, I’m from Chicago. We were trying to figure out how to meet some of you.
I was wondering if there were any burg lovers interested in joining an off-line?
Place: TBD
Date: TBD - I’d love early December, so it’s nice and holiday-like.
Theme: TBD - doesn’t need to be too grand.
I’m a little nervous proposing an off-line to folks I don’t know, but it worked well when I did the same after arriving in London ten years ago. Why not try again?
Jeremy,
I used to be at PWS. I personally prefer WWS for their community of wine enthusiasts. Every Wednesday is a themed social and there are plenty of informal gatherings. Yes, there is a lounge.
Mark,
Nothing did, but I’m willing to participate or host a the wine locker for up to four others. I have mainly Oregon Pinot, but I do own a few burgs.
I am interested in a get together, organized or just bring a bottle. I have access to several other collectors New World or Old, I’m more in the New World camp. Maybe a private room or restaurant gathering? I can offer Portland Wine Storage space up to 8 people for free, after that it’s a $100 room rental.
If someone plans something for a Friday or Saturday (during school year), let me know. I can probably make most themes work, except if it is white Burgundy.
I have a 2010 Pinot noir event I’m hosting, I might a few spaces available. The date is 2/9 and the event is a private.
Hit me up if you are interested.
I’m not on the board that often, but always interested in meeting cool wine lovers in PDX. I store part of the cellar at WWS, too, so that’s convenient.
I’m up in Seattle and would gladly drive down to Portland for a great tasting, but I’m not available this weekend. I’m posting here only to humbly request that you post TNs!
