by pearlgirl
6 DEGREES OF CELEBRATION
It's time to celebrate! It's been six years since UWW opened its doors. Join us for six hours as we pair vintages of Bishop Creek Cellars, our estate wine, with a half dozen of our other favorite things: fine food, fabulous friends, community partners, local art, the Oregon Wine Report and Northwest Palate.
Alright, we fudged a little. The Oregon Wine Report and Northwest Palate just merged, so technically it's just Northwest Palate. The publishers and editors will be on hand to discuss it all - over great wines priced at only $6 a glass. Six percent of the night's wine sales will be donated to Court Appointed Special Advocates (CASA).
Entrance is free, but bring some extra cash for a chance to win some spectacular raffle items. Raffle tickets are six dollars and prizes include: a UWW blending class for six, a UWW "Bites and Flights" pairing class for six people, a chocolate pairing class for six, and one lucky winner will eve
