It’s become a great tradition – Memorial Day Weekend in Oregon Wine Country, with hundreds of wineries and tasting rooms open for special events all weekend long. Join us here in Carlton from 12n-5p Saturday & Sunday only – we’ll be pouring a great line-up of our new releases, and special selections from our Burgundy import portfolio.. And we have over 100 wines in stock, including Grower Champagnes and top Red & White Burgundies.

Tasting Fee is $10 at the door, refundable with any 3-bottle purchase.

Join us in Portland for our continuing series of First Friday Happy Hours – 5-7p on Friday June 1st at Scott Paul PDX (2537 NW Upshur.) Note – FREE PARKING is available nearby at the Selco Community Credit Union lot, at the corner of 25th & Thurman.  This event is open to all, and we extend a special welcome tonight to our friends from French American International School, and Gilkey International Middle School.  We’re kicking off the weekend and celebrating the end of the school year with some great white Burgundies that are perfect summer sippers, along with our new ’09 La Paulée Pinot Noir and more goodies. Tasting fee $10, refunded with any three bottle purchase.  RSVP not required but helpful, martha@scottpaul.com.  See you here!

Join us in Carlton from Noon-5p on Saturday June 23rd for one of the great marriages of all – White Burgundy & cheese! We’ll be pouring a flight of several top White Burgundies, each matched with a different cheese chosen to show off the wine AND the cheese at their best. Once again we’re teaming up with our friends at Cheese Bar for this year’s version of what was one of our most popular events last summer.

The wine line-up is spectacular:

’09 Chablis 1er Cru “l’Homme Mort” from Frédéric Gueguen, ’09 Pouilly-Fuissé “Clos Varambon” from Chateau des Rontets, ’09 Pouilly-Fuisse “Vignes Blanches” from Domaine Thibert, ’09 Meursault “Vieilles Vignes” from Buisson-Charles, ’09 Puligny-Montrachet from Benjamin Leroux, and the magnificent Grand Cru ’08 Corton-Charlemagne from Bonneau du Martray. Whoa!

Tasting fee is $25 for this special event, refundable with any 3-bottle purchase of the featured wines.

Join us for our annual pre-IPNC dinner at the winery on Thursday night July 26th at 6:30. This year we’re excited to welcome three of our great producers from Burgundy for the festivities - Hugues Pavelot from Domaine Pavelot in Savigny-lés-Beaune, Thiébault Huber from Huber-Verdereau in Volnay, and the return of Alexandrine Roy from Marc Roy in Gevrey-Chambertin.

UPDATE – star chef Daniel Mondok (whose new wine country restaurant “Paulée” opens in late May) will be cooking dinner for us!

This dinner is now SOLD-OUT. Email Kelly Karr if you’d like to placed on our waiting list…
