THIS EVENT IS AT MAX CAPACITY

Celebrate PINOT NOIR, PINOT BLANC and PINOT ROSE Wines from California

Pick your favorite Pinot and bring along your favorite appetizer or dessert and we will celebrate a night of wonderous, fine wine and food! 

Pinot Noir is the 10th most planted grape variety in the world. The history of Pinot can be traced back for the better part of a millennium in France (Burgundy) where even today the great Grand Cru’s of the region command some of the highest prices in the entire world of wine. In the United States, Pinot Noir thrives in California, particularly Sonoma County, where the Russian River Valley, Sonoma Coast, and Alexander Valley nurture excellent ones. Santa Barbara County is also the source of top Pinot Noir. When it comes to Pinot Noir, for all the challenges it presents in the vineyard and winery, the rewards are well worth it – especially in California!

Depending on where it’s grown and how it’s produced, Pinot Noir can either be bright, fruit-forward, and perfect for everyday sipping, or capable of aging for decades. In addition to its use in Rosé and Champagne (and Rosé Champagne!), red Pinot Noir can be found in a wide range of styles and at price points across the spectrum. Pinot Noir’s higher acidity and more moderate tannins is a cooler-climate grape variety that make it both well-suited to drinking on its own and pairing with a range of foods.

Pinot Blanc offers fruity aromas, often of apple, citrus fruit, and floral characteristics. Bottles that are varietally pure, although more difficult to find, provide stronger floral characteristics, stone fruits and a headier minerality. Regardless of their exact composition, most wines under the label ‘Pinot Blanc’ are rather high in acidity. Pinot blanc wines are usually madefor immediate consumption.

Pinot Noir Rose is a delicate, crisp pink wine made from 100% Pinot Noir grapes. These seductive, blush wines are characterized by crisp acidity, low sugar content, and delicious rose petal and strawberry flavors.
