A wine tasting event featuring alpine wines at NĂ©gociant in Portland.
Négociant is hosting another Wine Wednesday on Wednesday, October 21, and this one is themed around alpine wines. They're calling it Après Ski, which fits the late-October timing—the weather in Portland is usually starting to turn, and the whole idea is built around the kind of wines you'd find in the mountain regions of Europe.
If you're not familiar with alpine wines, they generally come from high-altitude areas like the Alps, where the grapes grow in cooler, rugged terrain. That usually means wines with a bit more acidity and a crisp, clean edge, which is exactly what you want when you're leaning into the colder months. It's a specific corner of the wine world that doesn't get as much attention as the big names, so it's a good chance to taste something you wouldn't normally pick up on your own.
Négociant is on NW 21st Ave, right in the heart of the neighborhood, so it's an easy spot to drop into after work. The Wine Wednesday series is built for that—it's a mid-week thing rather than a full-blown evening out, so you can swing by, have a few glasses, and still be home for dinner.

The event runs from 5 PM to 8 PM, which gives you a three-hour window to work your way through the alpine selection. If you're into wine but haven't spent much time with high-altitude bottles, this is a low-stakes way to see what you actually like. It's at NĂ©gociant on NW 21st Ave in Portland, Wednesday, October 21, from 5 PM to 8 PM.
