Pinot Noir is often described as being a "difficult" grape, to grow, to deal with in the winery, and to find truly great examples of. Even so, fans are passionate about this variety, as sensually expressed by the dialogue between Miles and Maya in the 2004 Movie "Sideways". We'll share our passion for Pinot Noir in this upbeat and tasting-centered discussion and wine class focused on the world's most loved wine. Learn about the Pinot Noir's regional styles around the world, its winemaking challenges, food pairings made in heaven, how to decipher a pinot label, and much more. We'll taste examples from Burgundy, New Zealand, California and Oregon. Don't miss this great wine class!
