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.
