Pinot Days Grand Festival Tasting
It seems like ever since that movie Sideways came out, Pinot Noir has been having its moment. Yes, that movie did come out years ago (2004, to be exact), but let’s just call it a very looooong moment. If you, like Miles, are a fan of Pinot, have we got the event for you.
This Saturday, head to the Barker Hangar in Santa Monica for an entire afternoon filled with Pinot for the 3rd Annual Pinot Days Grand Festival Tasting. The tasting is open to the public from 1:00-5:00pm and tickets are $60 a pop. You may think that’s a little steep for a wine tasting, but it’s FOUR hours of wine, plus you’ll have access to taste over 300 Pinots from over 80 different Pinot Noir producers. We dare you to even make it through 100 of those wines.
There are a few other events around town to celebrate Pinot Days including a mini-tasting featuring the Pinot Noirs of the Santa Rita Valley held at Hotel Angeleno tonight ($35pp), and a Grilled Cheese/Pinot pairing at The Wine House ($35pp), also tonight.
Our tips for Saturday: (1) don’t be lazy and buy your tickets now, (2) don’t wear white.
