Good food, good wine, why not? We know we don’t need an excuse to celebrate when there are wines to explore.
Delicious wine, tasty eats, good company, I would love to attend!
yes, please. love to check this out. learn some new wines and places to visit in our backyard.
My husband and I have really been wanting to try this!
My body requires good wine on a regular basis, much like water and air. ;) I’d LOVE to attend this!
I would love to attend this for a couple of reasons: I love wine….especially Oregon’s finest Pinot and because I love good food…especially delicious, local food!!! yay!!! thanx
This is a fantastic line up of great local wineries! A few of my most favorites are Willakenzie Estate, Montinore Estate, and of course the famous Sokol Blosser Winery. Great way to kick off Spring season by tasting a plethora of Pinot Noirs. Cheers!
Mmmmmmmmm wine! Yes, please :)
I would love to go and it’ll be my first time wine tasting in the States! (First time was in australia) :)
I would love to attend to taste a variety of these yummy Pinots!
If I won these tickets I’d Take my boyfriend. Maybe then he’d stop pronouncing it “pee-not” noir. So this actually would be for the sake of education (and hopefully safeguard me from future embarrassment)
OH MY I would love to go to this. My psuedo boyfriend is recently unemployeed and won’t do anything with me that involves spending money. And we were just talking about how neither of us has been to wine country and we don’t know anything about Oregon wine. I wanna learn and enjoy a night out! Please and thanks!
In my former life as a food server, the fabulous aromas of Oregon’s finest varietal surrounded me. My exposure to Pinots has waned dramatically in the last ten years. I would love to catch up on what our regional wine makers are up to these days. Two tickets would be fantastic.
Attending this event would be a blast! Willamette Valley is just scratching the surface of it’s potential as far as producing Pinot Noir and I can’t wait to see you wait will happen in the next 10 years. Getting to taste these wonderful wineries would be a treat!
I’ve heard great things about Olympic Provisions!
I love oregon pintos, take me to that booze cruise
Its been a while since I’ve been to the drunk tank, and I would like to go on a full stomach.
I would love to win tickets and start that weekend off early with some class!
Pinot and Olympic Provisions, what’s not to love?! My wife and I would thoroughly enjoy this.
This would be the perfect present for my wife’s birthday!
Would be great to meet and hear about some new places to head out to on the weekends. Love going out to the wineries and picnic!
This pairing sounds phenomenal. It would make a perfect combination b’day/anniversary gift for a certain someone. My fingers are crossed!
Tasty wine and food, with a love and other good company, I hope I win!
Ohh, what a great 3rd anniversary date this would make!
We literally named our cat “pinot”
I need a night out, what better way to spend it
Ooooooh, Oregon Pinots are so tasty. Sign me up!
pinot is good made better by winning free tickets
Nothing makes me happier than good wine and food!
Thanks for the opportunity to win tickets to this event!
This would be a great way to sample a variety of local growers’ wines, and even better (and safer) I could do it without driving!
Love Oregon Pinot!
I’ve been longing to taste wines in the Willamette Valley for years! We have such a rich expanse of excellent vineyards–what a better way to pretend I live in France’s Loire Valley, than to taste my very own state’s equivalent! I would LOVE to go to Pinot 365′s tasting
I’d love a sampler platter of all Oregon Pinots!
Pick me please.
I recently moved to Portland and haven’t tried many of the local wines. I used to build wine cellars on the east coast, but haven’t had many of the wines from Oregon.
My husband is stressed out about looking for a job. And he loves red wine. I think this would help him relax and, who knows, maybe with a little luck he’d meet a potential employer?!
What a great line up of wineries! Oregon Pinot Noir is my favorite wine and I would love to wine tickets to this event!

This sounds like one of the best wine events of the year. I hope very much that I get to attend!
Yes, please!!!
I would love to attend because I’ve been at a Pinot wine tasting and thoroughly enjoyed it. I would also like to taste what Oregon has to offer, especially since our land and climate are said to be perfect for Pinot wine. My glass is always half full…but not for long. ;)
I would love a chance to experience so many wineries at one time, and try new wines I’ve never sampled before in honor of wine month!
Three words: I love wine. Enough said :)
I’d love to win a couple of free tickets since I’m new to town and haven’t gotten to yet experience all of the amazing local wines!
in vino veritas
I would love to send my husband because I have been a pain in the butt from lack of sleep from working and going to school full time. He has been a saint and needs to drink fancy wine and have a relaxing night.
Oregon pianos are just hitting my fiancé’s radar. This event would be prefect to attend and enjoy some amazing wine
It would be fun!
I love Oregon Pinots and would love a chance to try some of these!
Luke use the Force….Pick me…Wine is the elixir of life….
Could not think of a more enjoyable evening!
I’d love to attend!
My husband and I love exploring Portland for food and beer; winning these tickets would give us a wonderful reason to finally explore all the amazing wine the region also has to offer.
Oregon Pinot – That’s why!
LOVE Oregon Pinots, and this is so many great wineries in one location!! And…it happens to be my husband’s 50th birthday that day! No better way to celebrate!
love wine!
I want to prove my boyfriend that OR pinot’s are the best wines! :)
Morgan Ashley Thorstenson I would love to attend this event! My husband and I havent been out on a date in FOREVER! Our lives get busy, and date nights fall to the way-side. We stumbled upon your wondering Portland looking for a place to eat for brunch. Let’s just say it was the best we have had in a VERY long time! About why we would like to come to this event, we LOVE wine and supporting our local, amazing, Northwest community. Regardless, we will see you at brunch very soon! xo-happy winning!
I love a good pinot and would love to taste a variety in one location!
That is our anniversary week (26!). My wife and I love Oregon Pinots, especially some of the fine ones at this tasting, but we have not been able to indulge since I took a big salary hit to avoid being laid off over 2 years ago. She is recovering from a new hip, which keeps us close to home. This would be the perfect anniversary celebration for both of us!
I would love to take my fiance to this…he is new to trying wine!
Oregon Pinots are the best pinots!!
Did someone say Pinot Noir? I’m so there!
I’d love to go to this! Yes, pleeeaasseee :)
I would LOVE to join in on this wonderful event!
if selected, i will so terrorize the terroir!
I’ve been having a tough time and need to drink it off…..
my girlfriend thinks I’m sexier when I take her to wine tastings
I love pinot!! I’m too broke to attend. Tickets please so I can surprise my BF with a fun date!!!
Why would I like to attend? Because it sounds super fun drinking some awesome wine, and quite honestly I’d look like a stud treating my girlfriend to an event like this! :)
Six week old baby, surgery for our two year old son, MBA graduation and new job for my husband all since mid March. what a perfect (and much needed) date night this would be! thanks for the opportunity. cheers!
I’ve never been to a wine tasting! It would be especially wonderful in Oregon :)
Any event with Oregon Pinot Noir is one that I’m up for!
There will be no wine before its time. Pinot for
me please!
I lover the Pinot from Archery Summit. Sounds like a great event without a long drive.
My partner and I would love to attend!
It would be a nice warm-up event before I head to OPC!
Sweet. Sign me up
Would love to go with my wife. Figure I take her to enough beer events it’s time to take her out to enjoy some wine.
I have wanted to explore Portland and all it’s glories. what a wonderful treat to get to attend! I would love to go!
My wife and I have never been to a wine tasting and this seems like an awesome opportunity!!!!!
I was searching for a way to celebrate a life event that just happened…this would be absolutely perfect!!
I need something fun to do with my partner….badly.
I’m in town visiting from Florida, and I’d love to go to this event because I think it’ll give me a taste of one of Oregon’s oldest traditions. And with all the amazing food and drink in Portland it has become a rather pricey vacation…I could really use a free ticket!
For the last 10 years living out of state I’ve only ordered Oregon Pinots to show my home state pride. Now that I’ve moved back to Portland, I’d love to win tickets to taste the welcome home love!
I’d like to win because I NEED to explore my homestate Oregon wines! I haven’t tasted nearly enough of them.
Because my best friend and I are parched…
Love the Olympic Mills Building and all the businesses inside!! I work in the neighborhood and try to sneak over there every chance I get, whether for coffee, lunch or happy hour! Who would want to miss out on a night of wine tasting in a great part of town?
Wine+food. Yes, please.
I throw a wine and cheese party every January and need to get some ideas :)
The best wine, great food, time with my fiancee , what could be better?
Sounds like a perfect networking opportunity; please let me talk real estate over wonderful food and wine. Thank you.
I want to attend because it sounds like a night not to miss
Wine
Spill the wine
I don’t drink a lot of wine, but I absolutely love pinot! I would drink it all the time if I could afford it! It is my favorite wine. Please let me win these tickets :)) Thx.
I’ll be meeting my boyfriend’s mom for the first time when she comes to town then and this would be a great way to show her a good time while enjoying some fabulous local Pinot!!
Dealing with a tough breakup and I think this is exactly what I need to do with a good friend. Plus my favorite wineries will be there.
This is on my girlfriend’s 30th birthday. This would be a great start to our first full day visiting Portland.
This would be fun simply to get an overview of all that Oregon has to offer. So many times I’ve sought to promote our wines to friends & family in other states, only to walk away in a dither because I don’t truly know what to suggest.
I need to keep up with my grapetherapy. This will go a long way in helping.
I would love to partake in this as nothing screams “GOOD TIME” like the flow of nice wine. Pick me!
If you pick me I promise to smuggle some out and share it with you!!
sounds like a great event. Would love to go.
I need to know how Oregon wines kick more ass than California wines!
Love wine and love Red Slate! This would be the perfect way to introduce myself to more delicious Oregon pinots!
Pinot is delicious but expensive–please help me save money while getting drunk. If you won’t, who will?
Oregon has THE best wines!
Because it’s Pinot. Duh.
Pinot. . . . bring it on! Great list of wineries too!
Would love to win tickets- haven’t experienced any Oregon wine since moving here!
My husband and I both love all kinds of wine! Pair with some cheese and some chocolate, and you have yourself a fantastic evening!
It may be the heartbreak grape, but I still love it! :-)
I recently developed a taste for wine, and would live to try a few different ones from Oregon.
I went Pinot 364 ,362, and 359 and I am looking forward to this years bash. I hope it is a very good year.
Orewine!!!!!!!!! MMMMMMMMMMMMMMM!!!!!!!!!
You like wine? I like wine too!
