Ladies, get your wine on!

Girls getting together for Friday happy hour whilst talking business in tight power suits is dead sexy. Ask anyone. Which is why if you’re a gig l- or a woman if you want to put on your big girl britches- you ought to get thyself to 509 Wines in Fremont this Friday the 14^th at 4 PM.

This is a girl power hour like none other for several reasons. Firstly, it’s at a wine tasting room in Fremont, otherwise known as the center of the universe. It’s not very often you find yourself in a Puget Sound tasting room outside of Woodinville, so to get a chance to chill in one that is at the very core of our city is a rare treat, indeed.

Secondly, it’s in a tasting room. I realize I mentioned that already, however I did not elaborate on the fact that there will be excellent wine on hand. It’s also a small tasting room, so if your glass veers toward the half-empty along with your outlook on the business week, someone will be there to fill it with a smile and a healthy pour. Further, 509 Wines makes lush and wonderful wines that impart a sense of place. That place is Walla Walla, one of the rare patches of terroir suitable for growing a variety of sun-drenched grapes that bear excellent winemaking fruit.

Finally, there are striking food pairings to go along with the wines. Here’s the skinny:

• 2010 Clos des Seattle Viognier with herbed goat cheese.
• 2010 Mourvedre Rose Cote du Fremont with Japanese Roasted green tea pumpkin seeds.
• 2009 cabernet sauvignon with Spanish styled ham.
• 2009 Syrah with dark chocolate roasted almonds.

All this can be yours if you own a set of ladybits and find yourself in Fremont at the appointed time for only $5.00 (with additional wine available upon purchase). For more information or to register for the event, click here.
