	Go With the Guru

	This trip has (very sadly) been cancelled but will be re-scheduled soon. Oregon Wine Country Trip 2009 dates announced A lucky ten people will join the Wine Guru in Portland in July. This is the fifth trip of its kind, and is quite unlike any possible without the guru. Dates for this year's trip are ~~July 12 - 18, 2009~~. Participants will meet in Portland on Sunday, the 12th for a weeklong adventure of a lifetime. These trips are very popular, as you can imagine, and spots fill up fast. This happy group will be able to see The Willamette and Portland like never before. We'll receive VIP reception at ten wineries in the Northern Willamette Valley and the Red Hills of Dundee. Past wineries include: Ponzi Vineyards, Adelsheim, Domaine Drouhin, Chehalem, Sake One, Lange Winery, Sokol-Blosser, Hamacher (Carlton Winemaker's Studio), Domaine Serene, Elk Cove, Argyle and Rex Hill. Our hosts at the wineries will be the winemakers or family members. We'll enjoy amazing food with menus created just for us and winemakers joining us for dinner. We'll have lunch at the wineries and even sample single-vineyard wines in the actual vineyards! There will be plenty of barrel tastings too. As the Wine Guru, I'm excited to have become great friends with this gang. Good wine has a way of doing that, you know?! The pictures on the slide show to the right are from the Oregon 2006 trip. You won't want to miss this chance. Contact The Wine Guru for more details.

	WineGuru finds New Day Job in South Tampa

	Fine Wine & Spirits Warehouse 4023 Gandy Blvd, Tampa, FL 33611 (813) 837-8941 Stop by and see me. I'm working with an amazing selection of wines, and they're priced extremely competetively. I'm at the store late on Monday evenings and from 10am - 6pm on Tuesday, Wednesday, Friday & Saturday. I'd love to show you around, including our 10,000 bottle capacity climate-controlled wine room. Of course I'm available for private events and classes with special arrangements, so we can always talk about putting together a truly remarkable event for you and your friends. See you at the store soon. It's right at the corner of Gandy and Clark, so you can't miss it.

	Wine Classes

	Learn from the guru at some very informative wine classes. Everyone always has a good time, and some great wine. Wednesday Wine Classes Are on a break for a short while. As soon as a new venue is established, they'll resume. Full Classes Schedule to be posted soon. You can always talk to The Wine Guru about your very own wine class. Classes at all levels of wine knowledge are available with enough notice. I do a Wine 101 that's lots of fun and very informative. If you'd like to put something together, let me know. This is a great alternative to the usual dinner party. Invite your friends, and let the guru do the work!
