Pinot Days Santa Monica 2011

 

In these videos, I had the chance to speak with some of the top producers and sales people in the Pinot Noir biz.  The wines at Pinot Days emanated from the Russian River Valley to the Santa Lucia Highlands, Oregon to Carneros, and from the Anderson Valley to the Sonoma Coast to the Santa Rita Hills. I tasted through a myriad of great Pinot Noirs, some of the outstanding ones for me, were the wines of Papapietro Perry, La Fenetre, Etude, Domaine Chandon, Cloud's Rest, Patz & Hall, Inception, Ken Brown, Belle Glos, and Siduri, although there were lots more I was unable to taste. Pinot Noir is an obsession. If you catch this bug, watch out, for you will be hooked! Enjoy, and don't forget to have fun with wine!  :-)
