Portland Wine

A Blog for Clients, Customers, and Wine Geeks everywhere.

A special message to our wine storage clients: Please join us on Friday, April 16th to help celebrate our 10th year in business. "Ten years" sounds like a long time when I say it, but in reality it passed by pretty quick. The best thing about it all is that due to a special blend of cool and quiet cellar conditions, a low stress work environment, and an over-abundance of reservitrol, Tom and I haven’t aged yet!
While there will be plenty of excellent food on hand, we will be relying on you to bring most of the wines; ten year old wines will score extra points.
A lot has happened since we first began in 2000( most of it good) and we are proud to say many of you have been with us the whole time. Amazingly, there are even a few of you who’ve had the discipline to keep your collections from outgrowing your storage space; luckily for us there are only a handful of you.
Do not expect this to be another Scary Bottle Night - and do expect some surprises.
For the first time ever, we have outsourced the lion’s share of the cooking burden to Daniel from "The Po House" on Hawthorne. He’ll be providing a few signature dishes along with some other stuff. Tom and I will also be putting some food out but nothing complicated to distract us from our celebration.
We will be serving food from 5:30 onward. Please join us.

You’ll get an email invitation but mark your calender now. 

One final note on the upcoming party . . we mentioned 10 year old wines were appropriate for this 10 year anniversery,  Yes, a 10 year old wine is good but that doesn’t mean something else won’t be better!  Please do not feel pigeon-holed by our vintage and let your preference guide your success in such an important selection.  The fact is, a ten year old from many parts of the world is stil just a baby; older siblings are welcome and encouraged.  To go one step further, we’d even like to meet that whacky uncle.
