   J’aime les Francais.
   I cheated on how to spell this because I need more French in my life.
   Bastille Day would be ‘parfait’

   I got a minor in European history in college and the storming of the Bastille was ALWAYS my favorite subject. It marked the beginning of revolution, and ultimately change in governmental system and everyday life of the French. Unfortunately, it also led to the execution of the ever-glamorous Marie Antoinette.

   Plus, I LOVE wine! :)

   Who wouldn’t want to celebrate Bastille Day at Willakenzie?? Such a fantastic venue – great wine & countryside. Plus – it’s after July 5th, so the sun will be out!!

   I am very good at ‘storming’ BBQ sliders, appreciate the Oregon wine revolution and its displacement of the enological monarchy that used to exist, and am egalitarian in my enjoyment of great wines and food.

   Since I can’t go to France, Bastille Day; La Fête Nationale at Willakenzie Estate is the next best thing! To combine one of the best chefs in the Portland metro (Pascal Chureau) with a top Oregon winery- this is going to be an event not to miss!

    July 15 is also St Swithin’s Day. Legend says if it rains on that day, it will rain for 40 more. (Or as we call it, a normal northwest summer). Whatever the day brings, I could use some wine while I whine about the weather.

    This coincides with my and my partner’s two-year anniversary. Our last anniversary was actually spent in Paris (and we aren’t rich, I just have a lot of student loan debt and was in school at the time). It would be amazing to follow it up with a short trip that, now that my loans are in repayment, neither of us can afford. I speak French, too, and have a Euro Studies Master. Please hope me!!!

    32 years ago my sweet husband proposed to me on Bastille Day! Each year we celebrate our engagement on THAT day! As native Oregonians we celebrate within our beautiful state,of course with wine from Oregon’s vineyards. My maiden name, DeVore, reflects my French roots, so this would be a PERFECT day and way for us to celebrate our amore’!

    This Bastille Day will be my sister Linda’s 59th birthday. It would have also been her 33rd wedding anniversary but her husband Michael died in 2001. Linda lives in Boston but loves Oregon Wine Country. These tickets just might convince her to get her derriere back out here! If not, I will use them and drink beaucoup Pierre Leon to her good health.

    i just woke up in this box. as i type the room gets smaller. an oblong button below my deminishing space says “submit comment.” not sure what to do: if i “submit comment” my whole situation may change, but for better or worse? say i’m no longer in this box (now 2/3rds full and shrinking), who is to say i’ll be better off. or even recognizable?

    My best friend and her husband are currently galavanting across France. And what am I doing? Cat sitting for them. 3 cats = a lot of cleaning the litter and vacuuming let me tell ya. It would be absolutely fantastic to get a break from this feline den and experience a little snippet of the French cuisine they are currently enjoying on their vacation. Pretty please supply me with the means for a mini French vacation! :)

    It’s been 25 years since my beloved partner returned home from Paris, where she worked with immigrants and refugees. She had the privilege to travel France from ville to village coming to know the many cuisines, cheeses, wines and cultures that make France the strong and rich country that it is. I would love to surprise her with tickets to this extraordinary affair. Thanks.
