8th Annual Pinot Noir Summit

If you're passionate about Pinot Noir, this event is a must!

The Pinot Noir Summit, one of the best Pinot Noir events in the world, returns to the Bay Area for its 8th year on February 27, 2010.

The day long Pinotcentric events begins with The Pinot Noir Showdown, a blind tasting of 40 top-rated Pinot Noirs. Attendees become wine judges for the day and pit their palates against the expert panel, tasting and voting on their favorites.

Following the Showdown, guests may attend two Pinot Noir workshops featuring wine experts from around the country exploring the many faces and facets of Pinot Noir with top winemakers and viticulturists.

The event concludes with a grand tasting as winemakers, proprietors, and winery personnel share their outstanding Pinot Noirs and a taste of other wines they produce. A fantastic array of hors d’oeuvre will be served.

The identity of the wines you tasted at the Pinot Noir Showdown will be revealed and the final results will be announced at the Awards Ceremony at 8:00 PM during the Pinot Noir Summit Reception.
