Paradise for Pinot Noir

by Farley

Hint: It’s not where you might think…

Pinot paradiseNext weekend is all about Pinot Noir (ok, and probably a little green beer) for Bay Area residents. If you can look to your left or right and see the Santa Cruz Mountains, you’ll be in the right place.

Here’s the scoop on what’s happening:

Saturday March 17: Pathway to Pinot Paradise
Participating SCM wineries will be pouring Pinot barrel samples and maybe even library wines. (For example, at Thomas Fogarty, we’ll be pulling from the cellar the much-talked-about ‘97, ‘01 magnum, and three small block-designated Pinot Noirs from the Rapley Trail
Vineyard). All that wine and unbelievable views to boot. Gas up the car (yeah, that’ll hurt) and grab a map.
Tickets–$25

Sunday March 18: Grand Cruz Tasting
2pm-5pm at Villa Ragusa in Campbell…where over 30 SCM wineries will pour their favorite Pinot and local restaurants & gourmet shops will provide tasty treats.
Tickets–$65 (But I’ll share a secret. If you mention you’re a friend of Thomas Fogarty Winery, you’ll get the second ticket 25% off)

Call the Santa Cruz Mountains Winegrowers Association for more info (831-685-8463) or check out the website.
