CONTEST: Why I Want to Go To Portugal to Visit Enoforum Wines with Jo Diaz

The Sixth Annual Pinot on the River promises to be another great event. The Grand Tasting is going to be hosted by Rodney Strong Vineyards on Sunday, but you really need to read all of the details below, because it’s offering Pinotphiles so much more than the grand tasting.

It’s a full-immersion weekend of Pinot Noir, featuring a complete program of in-depth tastings and seminars, vineyard tours, and sumptuous food. Sit with the winemakers and other Pinot-loving consumers as everyone gets to focus on highly-allocated, limited production West Coast Pinot Noirs. From Friday’s kickoff dinner to a Saturday of intimate Pinot seminars and tastings all the way through Sunday’s “Pinot Noir Grand Tasting,” if you love Pinot Noir, it’s a weekend you must not miss.

I’m really looking forward to this great event, and hope to see you there, too!
