Oregon Wine Flight to New York Lunch

Treat yourself to a boozy lunch—and a bit of vino edification—at this midday panel and wine tasting. Six producers from Oregon's Willamette Valley will be on hand to discuss their pours. Over three courses, including smoked-duck salad and hen-of-the-woods risotto, you'll be introduced to a range of 2008 pinot noirs from microregions within the valley. Among the bottles to be tasted are the Argyle Winery "Nuthouse" and Soter Vineyard "Mineral Springs Ranch." If you like what you taste, snag a ticket for the next night's dinner, featuring three more winemakers and Sideways author Rex Pickett (7pm; $95).
