Calendar of Events

I'll be pouring my wines prior to this event, which is part of SFNOIR's 9th Annual Celebration of Black History Month. The Museum of African Diaspora is at 325 Mission St. in San Francisco. Details and tickets are available here www.moadsf.org/visit/calendar.html

At the Osher Marin JCC near the Civic Center

Noon-3:30   Pinot Noir Shootout Finals -- a blind tasting of the top 40 pinots selected by the panel from a group of 248 submitted. You taste, vote, and the results are compared to the scores of the expert panel at the tasting/reception/awards ceremony in the evening. Wineries are asked not to divulge ahead of time whether they are participating in the Finals to preserve the "blind" aspect of the tasting.

3:30-5:45   Various pinot workshops featuring themed tastings, panel discussion and Q&A

6:00-8:30   Reception tasting and awards ceremony -- the Top 40 plus a bunch of other pinot producers will pour their entries plus some other wines in their portfolios. Specially paired hors d'oeuvres will be served.
