Well, hello there. It seems like forever since I have written a newsletter. I apologize if any of you have been sitting around your computers waiting for one. Ha ha, that was a little funny.

Ok, well the Holidays are coming to a close here pretty quick. I want to wish everyone a Happy New Year. I will be open New Year's Evening until 6pm. So the hours would be from 12-6.
No music that night. I would of done it but my kids are in town and we are planning a nice evening at home.

So, all you Crazies out there have fun and be safe.

I will be closed Thursday, New Years Day and reopen Friday with an amazing tasting for all you die hards who are jonesing for some juice. I'm thinking of a blind red varietal tasting. I will wrap 4-6 bottles up and see if all you vinophiles can guess the right varietal. What a plan. $5.00 tasting fee from 5-8pm.

I have my third wine maker dinner fast approaching. Saturday, January 17th at the Farmhouse at David Hill Winery. We will be featuring Jason Bull, wine maker from David Hill. Tickets are $75.00 a piece and this includes a 7 course meal (prepared by Dawn Houser) paired with 7 of Jason's wines.
I only have 10 more tickets available so if you want to go you need to call me at 503-359-1967 or email very soon at scott@thewinebehren.com

Thanks everyone for making 2008 very memorable.
