CHEMEX POUR OVER TASTING WITH WATER AVENUE
Sunday, July 19th
10:00 am - 11:30 am
"Rising on the banks on the mighty Willamette River during the mild winter of 2009, the Water Avenue Coffee factory creates handcrafted coffees in Portland’s Southeast Industrial District."
Join reFRESH and Water Avenue Coffee for a complimentary Pour Over Coffee event. Aaron Baker, Water Avenue’s wholesale service director will be here sampling various blends of their fair trade and locally roasted beans. He’ll be ready and willing to answer any questions you might have about their coffee and brewing styles PLUS we’ll also be sampling some of our fresh baked treats from Pearl Bakery and Bowery Bagels. Come by for what surely will be a fun and informative event.

TASTE OF THE ISLANDS
Saturday July 25th
6:30 pm - 8:30 pm
reFRESH is thrilled to collaborate with local wine maker Mark Proden of Island Mana and Bodichitta wine labels for a “Taste of the Islands”. Perfectly aligned with reFRESH’s “Keep it Local” mentality both labels showcase Oregon grape wines (Pinot Gris, Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, Marachel Foch) blending the varietals with tropical flavors such as pineapple, guava, and passionfruit. What truly sets these wines apart is that unexpected pop of flavor that will instantly transport you to the white sandy beaches of Hawaii.
This complimentary event will feature tastings of the labels most popular wines. Passed mini samples of our best selling sandwiches will also be served. Stop by and mingle with your neighbors as well as reFRESH’s co-owners Si Nae Lim and Sara McMahon for what will surely be a fun filled evening.
