I’m pleased to announce a very exciting and limited tasting here at the store featuring Oregon Pinot Noir producer Marcus Goodfellow of Matello.

On Tuesday, August 24th Marcus will pour several of his exciting new Pinot Noir releases from the stellar 2008 vintage. This will be a great way to learn more about the Matello wines and Pinot Noir in general.

Hello,

The last time I put out an events calendar, you responded in droves. Every event sold out so quickly that I never had to send out a follow–up newsletter.

Today, I am excited to announce my next wave of tastings and dinners.

Putting together events takes quite a bit of time and work. Because my events are often small, each seat and every seat is important to its success. This year I’ve had to be a little tougher on last–minute event cancellations. A strict 48–hour cancellation policy is in effect for my tastings. If I can’t fill your spots with people on the waiting list, I have to charge you. I hope this isn’t a deterrent to signing up; it’s just a measure I have to put in place.

On another note, my June 3 tasting will represent the only tasting of that month. I will be traveling from Sunday June 6 through Monday June 28. The store will be open a limited number of hours while I am gone. I plan on visiting over 40 producers in three different countries on this trip. This is the best way for me to offer even more knowledgeable service, and to keep current on what is going on in the wine world. I am paying for this trip out of my pocket, and could use all of your help to support my business while I am gone.

Thanks again for all that you do for Perman Wine.

Best Wishes,
Craig

I’m back and very excited to formally announce “A Taste of the Belgian Provinces” Beer dinner in conjunction with X-Marx!

For those of you new to the e-mail list, from time to time I have worked with a local team of Chef’s called X-Marx. We have collaborated to offer exciting food and wine dinners in the past. Now we are back after a brief hiatus with what promises to be a delicious, entertaining and educational beer dinner focusing on Belgian beers matched with a take on food from their provinces.

I also have included in this e-mail some upcoming tastings happening at the store. Some of these are filling up fast, but remember even if they do fill up, join the waiting list as cancellations do happen.

I really hope you can make an event in the future!
Cheers,
Craig

Hello and Happy Friday!

A Perman Wine tasting is a great way to learn more about wine, as well as get a chance to taste before you buy. Each tasting comes with a theme to let us delve head first into. All levels of tasters are welcome, Perman Wine is a wine snob-free zone.

This year I will also offer a series of retrospective tastings, where older wine will be highlighted. For anyone that cellars wine or wonders what older wine tastes like these will be a must to attend.

Finally, many of you have been wondering when my collaborative dinners with X-Marx would return, and today I announce what promises to be a very exciting beer dinner, “A Taste of the Belgian Provinces.”

Mark your calendars and reserve your spots today for the following upcoming events at Perman Wine Selections.

Cheers,

Craig

In fact, Champagne may be the most versatile food wine that there is. You are in for the treat of your year at this multi-course, multi-bubbly Champagne Dinner, THE Champagne Dinner to beat all.
