Vinfolio    
Wine Tasting Event: The Wilder Side of Pinot
 
Join Vinfolio on Thursday, June 12th as we sample some incredible Pinot Noir from California and Oregon. Doug Wilder, Vinfolio Director of California Acquisitions and author of the bi-weekly wineletter The Wilder Side of California and my Free Run Juicewine blog, has selected an array of Pinot that showcase a variety of distinct styles and appellations.

Doug will be joined by winemakers Kenneth Juhasz of Donum Estate and Ryan Zepaltas of Zepaltas wines as well as a representative from Eric Kent Wine Cellars who will be on hand to talk about their different approaches to Pinot and to explain the mysteries of working with this difficult, but highly prized grape.

We will also be pouring one or more of the special Hospice du Sonoma Pinot Noir magnums - limited to the first 30 minutes of the tasting.

Ticket price ($40) includes assorted cheese and charcuterie selections.
