Pinot Noir Lovers - Be Alerted To The Pinot Days Grand Festival This Weekend

The 5th Annual PINOT DAYS GRAND FESTIVAL PUBLIC TASTING is happening this
Sunday, June 28, 2009 from 1:00 pm until 5:00 pm at the Festival Pavilion, Fort Mason
Center, San Francisco.  Cost is $50/ticket.

The Grand Tasting will showcase 200 producers of pinot noir.  This is California's largest
single gathering of pinot producers, as well as its most varied.  If you go you will be able to
sample up to 400 pinots from every important region in California, Oregon, New Zealand,
and Burgundy. 

As winemaker Ed Kurtzman, Freeman Winery says, "For anyone who already loves Pinot,
this is an excellent opportunity to try many new wines as well as some well-established
favorites.  For those who don't have a lot of Pinot experience; my bet is that they'll be in
love with this grape by the end of the weekend." 

Enjoy the countless pinots and sample a variety of artisan cheeses & other specialty foods. 
They will feature a pinot production demonstration in which you can learn about the
making of pinot from the vine to bottling and every step in between. They will also offer a
number of pinots for auction, benefiting various charities.

Larry and I will be volunteering at the silent auction booth until 2:00 pm.  Then we will
be set free to taste away!  If you are a twitter friend come find us @WineTravelLori and
@WineTravelLarry.  Brandon, aka @winemakerb, assistant winemaker for Dutton Goldfield) will be
there pouring on Saturday.  If you are going to be there then I suggest that you go
"clink a toast" and say hi.

Please, if you go, reply about it on this blog next week we want to hear all about your experiences.

Happy Pinot Drinking!!!!!!!!
