Find me at Pinot on the River in Healdsburg, Sunday, October 23rd

Less than a week after launching the premiere issue of purely domestic wine report concentrating on Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon, I am jumping into the research for issue two at the Pinot on the River in Healdsburg. There are at least a dozen new producers there that i am very curious to look at.

Weather should be great this year, forecast in the low ’80s. I hope to see a lot of friends there and you know the drill - if you find something you really like, find me and tell me about and I’ll try to get over and check it out. Here is the link for tickets:http://www.pinotfestival.com/index.html The grand tasting begins at 12 noon, though a VIP ticket may be the way to go if you want the total immersion experience ($150) that kicks off the day with the editor/publisher of Pinot Report, Greg Walter, the go-to specialist when it comes to Pinot Noir.

For disclosure purposes, I am attending on a media pass along with my editor generously provided by the organizers.
