What's Cookin' Today Hour TWO:

Lisa Rigisich Tells Us About Pinot Days in San Francisco. It's Coming Up on June 18th!

Pinot Days San Francisco celebrates the amazing noble grape in all its gloriously diverse styles, and this year’s offering is more broad and complete than ever. 220 artisan winemakers representing every domestic pinot noir region will pour the fruits of their craft, each sharing their unique interpretation of pinot noir and the stories of their winemaking.

This year’s event includes the largest presence of Oregon producers ever gathered outside of Oregon. If you love Oregon pinot, this is a great opportunity to go deep. But don’t stop there; please taste pinot of all regions and styles, no matter what your particular stylistic preference because good pinot is good pinot, and the proof will be in your glass.

Detour over to our Burgundy Corner where Jean Charles Boisset pours the best of Burgundy and tells the story of his journey from there to California. Wander from a Santa Rita Hills producer to one from the Santa Cruz Mountains. Taste how pinot from Sonoma Coast is different from Santa Lucia Highlands pinot. No matter what preconceived notions you arrive with, leave your “camp” and go in search of great wine!

No place, no event, celebrates such great wine in so many styles. With an open mind and a ready (Riedel) glass, you will discover new favorites right and left...and sideways.
