FIRST WINE DINNER EVER at Brooks!

Dear Friends
As you know, building our winery was a labor of love, well that and the last 10 years of leading the charge of Brooks!
Throughout the years, we come across special partners that are irreplaceable...opportunities that can't be repeated. That is what our dinner this Saturday night at the winery is all about! Victor Panichkul and the Statesman Journal are amazing partners!
Not only is it the FIRST WINE DINNER EVER at the new winery, but Chris and I will both be there! (Very rare that we get to do dinners together! And what is setting it apart from all else is the passion and culinary expertise of Victor Panichkul. Vic is an excellent chef and award-winning Food, Wine, and Beer columnist for the Salem Stateman Journal. His food blog was recognized as one of the country’s top regional cuisine blogs by Saveur Magazine. Such an amazing combination of skill--this dinner is not one to be missed! Click here for the menu!
We only have 6 tickets left!
Click here to purchase your tickets today and join us for this once in a lifetime event!
Cheers-
Janie

About the "One Bottle" Project

A number of years ago I was tasked with finding a way to raise money to help with operation costs fora local chamber orchestra. I have many friends in the wine business and know that they are continually ask for cases, half cases, bottles, tastings, etc, and that it gets old fast. They are all very giving and caring people but they can't give away all their wine to help other people.
With that in mind, I decided that if I were going to ask anyone for wine, I would do it in person and just ask for one bottle. I drove my Subaru Legacy Wagon all over the state, putting on 180,000 miles.
The first year I gathered over 150 and last year I ended up with 259 bottles of Oregon wines for our auction. This year I gathered less because I knew that too much wine would be a problem for a "mixed" auction. This year I plan to create an auction for just the wine, separate from any other event.I was given wines from every wine region we have. I drove from Cave Junction (Foris) to Milton Freewater (Zerba) and to Bend (Volcano) Bonanza (12 Ranch) and the coast(Flying Dutchman). I traveled all over the Willamette Valley and Southern Oregon on my quest, met hundreds of wonderful wine people, made new friends, and tasted the bounty of Oregon.
I look forward to this years journey in my brand new Subaru Legacy and the support of all who helped last year and the year before, and of my wonderful wife, who puts up with this crazy idea!
