Oregon Pinot Noir Tasting
On Tuesday, September 16th at 4pm in the Sol Ballroom, we invite you to taste 5 exceptional Pinot Noirs
From the iconic movie "Sideways"
What is it about Pinot Noir?
“It’s thin skinned, temperamental, ripens early. It’s not a survivor like Cabernet that can grow anywhere and thrive even when neglected. Pinot needs constant care and attention and in fact can only grow in specific little tucked-away corners of the world. And only the most patient and nurturing growers can do it really, tap into Pinot’s most fragile, delicate qualities. Only when someone has taken the time to truly understand its potential can Pinot be coaxed into its fullest expression. And when that happens, its flavors are the most haunting and brilliant and subtle and thrilling and ancient on the planet.”
The Willamette Valley in Oregon is recognized as an outstanding example of a tucked away corner of the world with vintners that can bring life to exceptional Pinot Noir.
