PinotTalks® is an international seminar series that explores Pinot Noir through the lens of California and Burgundy. Each event includes a blind tasting with a distinguished panel of Master Sommeliers, Masters of Wine, Winemakers, and industry leaders. The goal is to explore the similarities and differences in the wines from each location, with a focus on quality, winemaking, and the modern challenges of each region.
Our hope is that after each event, the audience will walk away from this experience enlightened, perhaps surprised and enthusiastic to continue the dialogue of Pinot Noiramong the industry at large.

After participating in the session, attendees should be able to:

1. Compare and contrast the similarities and differences in Pinot Noir from Burgundy and California
2. Continue the conversation around the perception of Burgundy wines vs California wines
3. Have a clear understanding of vintage differences and the impact climate and place on Pinot Noir
