New Year, New Hours
After an extended Xmas break, with a week’s worth of snow days and a schedule that was anything but normal – it is finally starting to feel like we’re back in the groove and fully back in action. It was great to see a lot of folks in our tasting room on Saturday – which brings up our new hours and our new tasting program for 2009.
We’ve made one significant addition – we are now offering tastings by appointment, in addition to our open tasting hours. This will allow us to put together a guided tasting for you, and tailor it to your specific desires. For example – if you’re interested in exploring a particular producer, or a certain village in Burgundy, or maybe do a comparison of vintages, or if you’d just like to taste under more private conditions – you are now good to go. Tasting fees will run $10-$25 for these guided tastings, and we’ll be offering one appointment at 11am on each of our tasting days. Just call Kelly Karr at 503 319-5827 to make your appointment, or email kellykarr@scottpaul.com
Days and hours have also changed for the new year – in January and February we’ll be open on Saturdays only. Then March thru December we’ll be open Friday, Saturday, & Sunday, with tasting appointments potentially available on Wednesdays and Thursdays. We remain closed Mondays and Tuesdays year-round.
Open tasting hours will now be 1-5pm, and we look forward to seeing you soon (and often!) here in Carlton.
We were clicking through the channels looking for some inauguration festivities tonight, and happened on the Mario Batali/Gwyneth Paltrow cooking/travel/road-trip show on PBS – which follows them on an eating and drinking pilgrammage around Spain. Which led me to what I thought was a great idea – we should try to put together a similar show, with me, chef Gabriel Rucker from Portland’s Le Pigeon, and perhaps French actress Julie Delpy – and the three of us would eat and drink our way through Burgundy and Provence. Somehow Martha wasn’t quite as hot on it – “over my dead body” I believe was the quote. Maybe I should have suggested a less attractive actress…
At any rate -here’s the sun shining on the tasting room this weekend. We hope to see you soon…
