Here's an invitation I received from Mike. It's the middle of the week I know, but if anyone is available, let me know and we'll hook up. The price is the gas it takes to get there.



Just a few short years Pinot Noir was an ignored grape variety by much
of the wine drinking public. Yet today wine lovers all over America
clamor for these wines. Why the difference in attitude? As silly as it
sounds, it was the movie, Sideways. Somehow the wine nerd, Miles, star
of the movie, struck a chord with many people and drove them to
reconsider a grape variety that true enthusiasts had known for years
produced wine of richness, complexity and best of all, wines that could
be enjoyed at a young age. The good news was that an increased interest
in Pinot Noir challenged wine producers all over the world to recommit
themselves to the production of this noble wine. The bad news was that
Pinot Noir wines, rarely inexpensive to begin with, sky rocketed in
price with the new demand. We have always loved these wines and are
excited to bring to you fifteen new pinots to taste! They come from far
and wide- Oregon, California, Australia, Chile, New Zealand and, of
course, Burgundy in France. What's even better, check out the pricing on
these wines! There's something here for every occasion- Monday night in
front of the TV to a special wine for a special dinner- a true
embarrassment of riches!

Join us,
Wednesday evening, March 1st
6pm - 8pm
For a free tasting of
Fifteen Pinot Noirs from around the world!

See you then!

Hunter.... Big Grin
There have been a lot of nice tastings lately.

MiamiAtty,
I won't be able to make it tonight so you are going to have to be the official scribe for this one! Still have notes to follow on our tasting of wines from Argentina, but have just been really busy. I'll get them posted over the weekend if not before.
