"Champagne Smorgasbord" Pouring NYE at Red Slate Wine

With more than 25 dining options for New Year's Eve (snag those last-minute rezzies here and here), chances are your last-day-of-2010 plans focus in on severe fat-assery.

But for pre-dinner bubbles, the Red Slate Wine Co. — a "wine salon" and event space (owned by sommelier and former OCI wine professor David Speer) — will pour some serious champagnes, with a menu featuring 10 two-ounce tastes ranging in price form $4-22 (the latter for the spendy Tete du Cuvee's Salon 1997). The bubbly New Year's "pre-party" runs from 6pm to 10pm in the Red Slate space (it's flying under the radar across the way from Olympic Provisions in the Central Eastside). More information at the official site.
