Our First Community Dinner was a Hit!

Hi Friends,

Last Friday we had so much fun.  Oscar Albert held it's first community style, multi-course dinner and it was great.  Susan and Kyle Chaney (and myself as assistant) cooked up Lomo con Leche (pork in milk), a shrimp bisque, a seasonal salad and sherry ice cream and we paired it with a stylish Spanish wine to boot.  The group sat at long tables, shared conversation and left with smiles on their faces.  I saw new friendships formed, old acquaintances renewed and heard lots of laughter.

Our next community dinner is next Friday, Nov. 20th starting at 7:30pm.  We are capping the dinners at 24 and we've already reserved 17 spots.  So if you are wanting to join us please call soon to reserve your seat.
503-477-9894.

Meanwhile, over the last couple of weeks I've been cooking up a storm for new and old customers and the response to the new menu (Spanish Tapas) is very encouraging. 

Also, I changed the day of my weekly "themed" wine tastings to Thursdays and last night we had a great turnout for our Nebbiolo tasting.   Tonight, being Friday the 13th, I'm hosting an additional themed tasting which will consist of a blind "Freaky Friday" wine tasting - it's so easy to be silly, have fun and taste great wines at Oscar Albert!

Hope to see you soon!

Gretchen
