Tasting - Blind Tasting Pinot Noir

Tuesday, June 16th, 5:30-7:30 p.m. Blind Tasting Number 2! ~Pinot Noir~ We had such a good time with our last blind tasting that we are going to do it again! This time we are focusing on Pinot Noir & again focusing on the US and France. Pinot Noir is varietal that favors elegance over power and is highly influenced by the terroir in which its grown. Just how different could one grape taste from place to place? Well you’ll just have to join us and find out. Put your palate to the test and see if you tell the difference between Pinot Noir grown in the iconic vineyards of Burgundy and wine that is coming out of Willamette Valley, the Burgundy of the Pacific Northwest. What we'll be tasting: 3 Pinot Noir from Willamette Valley 3 Pinot Noir from Burgundy Format: Each wine is poured one at a time from concealed bottles so there are no identifying elements Each person is given a tasting guide where they can take notes and make observations for each wine At the end of the evening the wines will be revealed chronologically Orders placed the night of the tasting benefit from our special tasting prices Where: Ciao Mambo Wine Cellar 541 South Higgins Avenue, Missoula When: Tuesday, June 16th from 5:30-7:30pm Cost: $75 per person for a bevy of beverages and artisanal pizzas
