This month’s Women Tasting Wine seminar features 2007 Oregon White Wines. Here’s what WTW organizer Diane Sienko says about the event:

“Since 2007 was such an incredible year for white varietals, the September 21 WTW Seminar will feature 2007 Oregon White Wines from Penner-Ash, Lumos, St. Innocent, Elk Cove and Bergstrom Wineries. The weather is still warm enough to enjoy a selection of white wines, so we’re taking advantage of these lovely 2007 releases.”

As always, Chef Tim will create some delicious complementary dishes to pair with these outstanding Oregon wines.

WTW meets on Monday, September 21, at the Jackalope Grill. Please arrive 15 minutes early for Women Tasting Wine. Cost is $45. For reservations, please contact Diane Sienko at Bend Wine Cellars (388-7564), or go to the Women Tasting Wine website.

All Oysters Dinner

RESCHEDULED: Sunday, October 25

Conventional wisdom tells us to avoid oysters during months that do not end in “R.” Come celebrate the arrival of September, the first month of the year ending in “R,” with our special All Oyster Dinner, consisting of delectable shellfish creations . . . some even paired with red wine. That’s right! It really can be done!

Call for reservations: 541-318-8435.
