Wine class and The Birds @ Pastaworks

Come join Holly Wing from De Maison Selections to taste and learn about an exciting array of Spanish wines.

De Maison is one of the country’s premier importers of quality Spanish wines. Holly, long familiar with the Portland wine scene, is responsible for De Maison’s west coast distribution. Emily Goodman, Pastaworks’ primary wine buyer, will be on hand to assist Holly.

Holly and Emily have selected a number of new arrivals and old favorites from De Maison’s portfolio. You’ll get to sample the wines in an informal setting while Holly and Emily describe the represented wineries and offer some food morsels to accompany the wines.

The class will be held in Evoe at Pastaworks on SE Hawthorne. 6-8 pm on Tuesday, November 13th. $25 per person, includes 7 wines (plus a bonus! ) and delicious food. Sign up at any of the Pastaworks locations or call the Hawthorne store, 503-232-1010. Payment in advance reserves your place.
