  New Game: Summer Wine Trivia! Every Tuesday this summer, we'll post questions in 3 categories. Correct answers will win you a $5 Happy Hour glass of wine (even if it's not Happy Hour!) & enter you to win an end of summer drawing for a $50 Portalis gift certificate for the wine bar! This week's questions: Category 1 (Old World): All of these varietals come from Italy: Nebbiolo, Primitivo, Inzolia, Cannonau, Nerello Mascalese, Lagrein, Nero d'Avola, Barbera. All are red grapes except for one. Which one? Category 2 (New World): Oregon has made its name producing a red & a white grape. Both have two word names and both start with the same word. What are the 2 grapes? Category 3 (Portalis): Portalis owner Jens Strecker had a very different job when he was in Germany. What was it? Please send answers to info@portaliswines.com or better yet, stop in for a glass of wine and submit your answers in person! Deadline for this week's questions is Monday. Cheers!  New Tasting Series: Name That Grape!Our summer wine game is back! We'll have a different single varietal (in a bag to hide its identity) every Wednesday & Thursday through August. Stop by, take a taste, make a guess! If you're correct, you get one glass of wine at the Happy Hour price ($5), your pick! Game runs June thru end of August. Cheers!  Wednesday, Jul 30 No Corkage!
