Go west and you shall find 26th International Pinot Noir Celebration (IPNC) taking place on the grounds of Linfield College in McMinnville, Oregon, from July 27 to July 29, 2012.
70 wineries from the U.S and abroad will be present.
Let's start with one I don't know, Adea Wine Company (Gaston, Oregon), the good people at Anne Amie Vineyards whose Exhibit A i had the pleasure to taste are in attendence.
The French contingent includes 2 women, Fanny Sabre of Domaine Fanny Sabre (Beaune) and dear Alexandrine Roy of Domaine Marc Roy (Gevrey-Chambertin) who reminded me to mention this event.
Food will be plentiful and prepared by chefs including Jasper Shen, Sarah Pliner & Kat Whitehead of Aviary (Portland) and Jason Stonebrunner from Bastille (Seattle) for Vineyard Tour Lunch, not to forget local talent Jesse Kincheloe of Community Plate (McMinnville) for Sparkling Brunch.
