Days of Pinot

Filed in archive Wine Events on June 25, 2007

It's coming to San Francisco, CA this weekend, Pinot Days, from June 29th to July 1st. Imagine a whole wine event around one type of wine? Obviously, this isn't just any variety though; Pinot Noir is right now "the" wine of choice for those who tend toward the more popular vinos.

Here's a little more about this unique wine event and its focus:

The Bay Area Wine Project announces pinot days, the first Bay Area wine festival dedicated to Pinot Noir. Pinot Days celebrates pinot noir in its many styles, ranging from modern to earthy to elegant. Unlike wine events that appeal to a narrow customer base featuring wines more alike than different, Pinot Days brings together pinot producers representing every California appellation, style and price point, as well as a few from Oregon and Burgundy. It is our sincere hope that Pinot Days will enable you to explore new producers, find wines you love and can afford, and become a pinot devotee if you are not one already.

This year, we will feature Sunday 's Grand Tasting, as well as a couple of more intimate events on Friday and Saturday. Each of the festival events will be educational, stimulating and fun. Our goal is to make each event accessible to everyone by keeping the costs reasonable and the attitude casual. Pinot Days will never become an elitist event affordable only to the rich, nor will it become an "insider" event accessible only to industry folks and pinot geeks like us. Rather, we invite insiders to come and enjoy, and we encourage those new to pinot noir - those of you who do not yet know the depth, breadth and sheer loveliness of our noblest grape - to come and taste for yourselves.
