Pinot Party at Sunset Corners to feature 17 great wines

Sunset Corner’s Pinot Party, set for this Saturday, February 26th, is looking better and better! The lineup of wines promises to be outstanding. Here’s what they’re planning to offer:

2007 La Brisa Sonoma Coast
2008 La Encantada Santa Rita Hills
2008 Peregrine Santa Rita Hills

From Brian Loring:

2009 Rosella's Vineyard, Santa Lucia Highlands, CA
2008 Cargasacchi Vineyard, Santa Rita Hills, CA
2009 Shea Vineyard, Willamette Valley, Oregon
2009 Keefer Ranch Vineyard, Russian River Valley, CA
2009 Gary's Vineyard, Santa Lucia Highlands, CA

From AP Vin:

From Pali Wines:

2007 Cargasacchi Jalama Vineyard, Santa Barbara Cty, CA

This tasting also presents two excellent opportunities for the intrepid taster to expand his or her knowledge. First, Loring and AP Vin are both offering wines from in the same vintage, from the same vineyards (Rosella’s, Gary’s, Keefer Ranch). You will be able to compare how winemaking styles create something delicious and different from the same place. The second opportunity is with Loring and Pali, each of whom offers a Pinot from the Willamette Valley, in Oregon. Here, it’s an opportunity to see how the winemaker’s style is impacted by the very different appellations of California and Oregon.

The tasting will be held from noon to 4 this Saturday, the 26th at their store on Sunset Drive and SW 87th Ave. For more information, call the store directly at (305) 271-8492.
