Wine Tasting Selections for El Cajon 4/18/14-4/19/14

The Pinot Noir Challenge Tasting

We’ve had a lot of customers asking for another of our periodic Pinot Noir challenges and this week we have a good one. It’s Oregon going toe-to-toe against California’s Central Coast.

These are the two main challengers to Sonoma and Carneros for supremacy in U.S. Pinot Noirs and we’ll provide a variety from the wet and wonderful Willamette Valley to the cool Pacific slopes of the Santa Lucia Highlands.

Please join your referee, Bill Callahan, in sampling an interesting assortment of Pinot Noirs and give us your scorecard afterward!
