Bio-dynamic Wine-tasting Mixer at Blackbird Wines -- a Singles event Saturday, May 31, 2008 at 5:00PM Please join us as we explore the spirit of vegan and bio-dynamic wines here at Blackbird Wines in NE Portland. Blackbird is a new shop that specializes in organics and bio-dynamics. Owners Andy Diaz and Amelia Craigen have chosen a flight of local wines for us from Evergreen Vineyards in McMinnville that are filtered using a vegan method. We will also have a selection of vegetarian and vegan appetizers to snack on, along with a wonderful art exhibit to chat about as we sip. The hours of this event will be 5pm to 8pm. The cost of this event is $17 cash at the door. Please be sure to RSVP if you are coming. This venue is fairly small and we cannot guarantee an accommodation for you if you show up without letting us know. Also, exact admission payments will be appreciated. If you RSVP Yes, please be sure to show up. Your risk your membership in this group if you "flake" on your RSVP. Here are links to some information on bio-dynamic winemaking. It is a very vibrant and growing movement in this area, and some fantastic wines are being produced using these practices. http://www.caterersearch.com/Articles/2008/04/10/320100/biodynamic-winemaking.html http://www.nzherald.co.nz/topic/story.cfm?c_id=365 Meeting fee: $17.00 cash at the door Blackbird Wines 3519 NE 44th Ave @ Fremont Portland, OR 97213 Meeting fee: $17.00 See the full event details and RSVP at http://singles.meetup.com/1577/calendar/7813579/. |
