being from NY i have been completly taken by the Oregon/Washington food & wine scene. would love to experience this event
Hi…I didn’t win on Monday but maybe today?? please pick me, I would love to attend this event because I love wine and can’t afford an event like this if it isn’t a gift.
thanks
Any food event excites me-but since I am completely unfamiliar with the local wine scene this would be a blast!
I want to learn more about the wine, thanks!
I love local wine and food, but can’t afford tickets to events like this.
Me and my husband would love to go!
Ever since moving to Oregon, I always want to try new places to eat. What a great opportunity to have so many options to try in one place at the same time.
I would love tickets to this. I spent my more than what I typically budget for entertainment last weekend while taking advantage of the Dundee Hills Passport. By that I mean I’ll be eating PB&J for the next two weeks but not even imbibing in my recent purchases as they all have to age.
I love food and after PB&J for two weeks, I’d really love “real” food.
Please pick me and rescue me from my self caused food hell. I really had wanted to go to this event, but alas my weakness in good wine and food in wine country has now caused a change in plans.
I would love the opportunity to try some local Washington wines while enjoying delicious Portland cuisine.
I didnt win last time, so hopefully I can win this time. I look forward to the great food and drink
My husband has been out of town for 3 weeks and we would love to have a date night! Plus, SuLei Cellars is going to be at this event and we would love to support them by buying some of their luscious wine (we don’t plan a trip to Walla Wallavanytime soon, so this would be a great opportunity to do that)!
The 23rd is my birthday and I LOVE food! This would be the best gift and relieve my husband from having to plan the perfect night!
Sounds like a great event! Super restaurant lineup
This sounds like a great event and nice opportunity to taste some great wines. Pure space is a cool venue as well! hope to make it.
Perfect opportunity to leave our son with a babysitter for the first time!
We have never been to a wine pairing before and ADORE wine. It would be lovely to get into the depths of Washington’s fine wines on my boyfriends 33rd birthday!! Our appreciation of these tickets would be outstanding.
How can you go wrong wine tasting and mingling with the great people of Portland
Iwant to be an Oenophile, pick me!
Psh, Washington. (eye roll) Oregon rules and washington drools!
Hm, I may not be classy enough for this event.
I would love to attend this event – wine and food… there’s nothing better!
I would love to try some new Washington wines!
My boyfriend just turned 21! I’m a lot older than that hehe, but he hasnt done anything cool and I think he’d love this. Most guys are rolling there eyes thinking this is more for me than him – but he would love love love this sort of thing.
I would love to win these tickets ’cause I don’t ever getta do nuthin’. blah.
I have never been to an event at Pure Spacem would love to win tickets and taste the wines!
sounds fantastic! please please pick lil ol’ me.
Sounds awesome I’d love to join
This is the sort of event I would *truly* enjoy attending but can no longer afford. I know that doesn’t make me unique, but it will definitely make me appreciative!
Wife needs wine, need I say more?
I love great wine, cheese and fruit from the big Dub up above. It would be great to take a break from the political season and work stress to munch on some Washington tastiness courtesy of PDX Pipeline. Yes, please! :)
Yes please! This is the perfect way to handle Monday!
As a native from France this would be a great introduction to WA wine terroires!
My sweetheart and I just moved here from cape cod. Would love to go to meet new people and taste the local fruit of the vine. Thanks for your consideration.
Recently moved here and I’m torn, should I go to cardio kick boxing that night or check out this incredible wine event. We came from the mid west and are trying to get into the “Portland scene”. Maybe you can help us get more acquainted with this region’s wines by making the decision for me and giving us tickets!
I can’t think of a better way to spend a Monday evening, just three days before my 51st birthday. So many things to toast to: the anniversary of my birth, one month into empty nesthood, and way too long since my last glass of excellent Washington wine. I would love to Taste Washington!@PureSpace (without even crossing state lines!)
Quite simply…it would be a very special celebration for a specta
I am looking forward to a fun, informative and delicious evening if I win!
(sorry)
…spectacular 29 years. Thanks.
I know the difference between red and white wine, but that’s about it. This would be a great learning opportunity!
à ² _à ² …woah, how i’d love to get better versed in the art of pairing wines and such delicious fare as this!
would love to win and take my grown son before he moves back to k.c, 1 more chance to try to change his mind
I’d have to find a friend to go with me… everyone I know is busy that day, which means I would make a new friend! (& that is priceless!)
I love wine! Please pick me,
I would love to go because I love wine! Washington wine never gets featured so I think this event would be awesome.
I love Washington wine! But unfortunately I haven’t tried very much if it. Maybe this is my chance?
Yes please! sounds lovely!
This would be a wonderful introduction to Washington wines… And delicious Portland food doesn’t hurt either! Cheers!
Wow..this sounds extraordinary…would love to win tickets…PLEASE…PRETTY PLEASE. Make an old lady happy.
Sounds like a blast. Who wouldn’t love to try out some yummy food?
Why lie, I need a beer. Er, wine.
My girl friend likes to wine and dine, and I like anything wet, red or white as long as it isn’t vinegar, it’s alright, so together we would thoroughly enjoy two tickets to the event. We both need to expand our wine tasting experiences and this looks to be the perfect venue.
I’m not very familiar with Washington’s wine scene, and would live to discover it more. And I love food pairings!!! This sounds awesome!
Haven’t tried that much Washington wine, would love to partake in the tasting.
I’m from Washington, so I’d really love to win these tickets and get a taste of my home state!
This sounds great!
pick me pick me! =)
I want to try some washington wine!!
I am determined to find out what Washington tastes like! Pick me!
Mmmmmmmmmm. Who would NOT want to win this!
What a cool idea, i’d love to sample wines from Washington.
Sounds tasty! Would love to go.
i want to go sooo bad! thank you!
I would love to experience local wines. We have not lived here for quite a year yet and are just trying to explore everything about the PNW!!
This sounds awesome. These are the best kinds of festivals.
I need something to do….
I am from CA and would love to try some NW wines and who doesn’t like good food? Did I see cheese on the menu? I personally think cheese (and chocolate) should be their own food group and everyone should have at least 2 servings a day :)
I just moved here from Europe- am curious how wines here compare to there…gonna be another ‘bottle shock :)?’
I’m salivating just thinking about it. Tis the season for events like this.
