November 12: Pastaworks

Who can resist the aroma of Pastaworks on Hawthorne? It has that delicious scent of cheese, charcuterie and fresh pasta, and then there are those wonderful odors wafting over from Kevin Gibson's Evoe.... Also: Pastaworks boasts a terrific wine selection, which presents even more olfactory delights. Join us on November 12 to taste some biodynamically influenced wines from our friend Jay Somers at J. Christopher. We'll be there, signing books, sipping wines and sniffing the air...

November 5: La Paulée de Carlton

La Paulée began in Burgundy centuries ago as a feast on the final day of harvest for vignerons and pickers. Today, this tradition continues as Burgundy's famous “La Paulée de Meursault,” a 10-hour lunch extravaganza in the cellars of the Chateau de Meursault, to which each guest brings several prized bottles to freely share with all. Six years ago, Scott Paul Wines decided it was time for “La Paulée de Carlton.” This year, Scott and Martha Wright of Scott Paul Wines will be joined by Brian & Jill O’Donnell of Belle Pente; Andrew Rich of Andrew Rich Wines; Bill Sweat & Donna Morris of Winderlea; Jay McDonald of EIEIO; Robin & Dewey Kelly of Ribbon Ridge Vineyards; and Scott Paul winemaker Kelley Fox, with her own label, Kelley Fox Wines. The guest of honor will be Katherine Cole, author of... (drumroll) Voodoo Vintners! Don't miss this unforgettable evening, with dinner prepared by Chef Paul Bachand of Recipe.

We love the Farm to Fork summer dinner series: It brings great chefs and winemakers together on scenic local farms for memorable al fresco meals. It's affordable (tickets are $75 - $90), and it benefits causes we love. So we are honored to be signing books at this weekend's dinner at Dancing Roots Farm in Troutdale. Athena and Stewart from Boedecker Cellars will be pouring and Jason French of Ned Ludd will be cooking. We've been told that this dinner is sold out, but there are still tickets available for events in September and October. Check them out; they look fantastic!

July 12: Reading at Powell's Books

While you're recovering from pulling that all-nighter with the latest George R.R. Martin installment (A Dance With Dragons hits store shelves at midnight on the 12th), why not while away your evening hearing a reading from—what else?—Voodoo Vintners. 


The charming author will personally sign a copy for you, as well. Would George R.R. Martin do that for you?
