Wine Behren Newsletter

Good Afternoon Wine Lovers,

Well, apparently Mother Nature and I are on the wrong page. Her and I are gonna have to have a little chat. Is it spring or isn't it? No matter, we'll just have to drink more red wine until she gets her act together, so no worries, it's a wine wine either way.

"Free Wine" is playing here tomorrow evening from 6-8. No cover, just come down for a glass and enjoy the live acoustic guitar. It's a nice easy way to relax and unwind after a long rainy day, or work which ever you prefer.

Friday night Deux Fen Estate Vineyard & Winery will be here pouring 4 delicious wines. 3 outstanding Pinot Noirs and their Pinot Gris. Tasting is from 5-8. $5.00 tasting fee.

Since Spring is or should be here, Kristal and I are offering 25% off all spring related items. Come get your wine tasting back pack before there all gone.

So, with Spring technically here, I want to let you all know I have some great events planned this Summer. I am going to host the 1st Annual Wine Behren Scramble Golf Tournament July 25th at Sunset Golf Course. If you are interests, please come see me.

The weekend before, Saturday July 18th is my 2nd Year Anniversary PARTY! You really do not want to miss this one.

I have a few Wine Maker dinners lined up as well. One with Zerba Cellars on Saturday June 27th, and one with Tori Mor and Apolloni later in the summer.

Let's not forget I have a winery or a distributor pouring every Friday Night through the summer.

Thank everyone.

Ciao for now.

Spring is in the air and that means, picnicing is right around the corner. Come down and checkout our sales on all spring goodies. 25% off on all merchandise. Back packs, wine tasting packs, tiles, cutting boards, etc...

This Friday, the lovely Donna from Naked Winery will be here pouring her line up. Come try a little Foreplay, or sample a little Tease. The Naughty & Shag are always a crowd pleaser.
For reds you can't beat a little Penetration with the Diva or The Vixen followed up by some Missionary. Wow, is it HOT in here? Smokin' HOT in here.

If that doesn't get your curiosity up, I haven't a clue what will...............ever.

Siduri/ Novy is in California but Siduri does 3 or 4 Oregon Pinot's that are fantastic. The grapes come from right down the road. There Novy brand concentrates primarily on Syrah from all over. Gregg will have 3 pinotr and 3 Syrahs for your tasting pleasure.

Saturday's tasting will also feature the smooth sounds of EJ Bazea from 6-8. No cover, just some great rhythm and blues with a little Sinatra twist.

And, also, Saturday night, my good friend Gary Woods is leaving us for the warm tropical sunshine of Hawaii. Who can blame him right? So come down between 6-9 and wish our friend a Bon Voyage.

Hope to see all of you here. Thanks
