Pasadena Pinot Fest Rings in New Year & Benefits Children Charity
Noir Sponsors Pinot Noir Events Over 3 Days including Public Grand Tasting on Jan. 30
Pasadena, CA, January 15, 2010 --(PR.com)-- One of the oldest grape varieties to be cultivated for the purpose of making wine, Pinot Noir rings in the New Year for new beginnings at the Second Annual Pasadena Pinot Fest, sponsored by Pasadena’s top restaurant and wine bar, Noir Food & Wine. Held over three scheduled event days, Pinot Noir fans will savor varietal flavors at a Brian Loring Winemaker Dinner (January 24), Wes Hagan Clos Pepe Tasting (January 29), and Pinot Noir Public Grand Tasting (January 30).
“This is the second time Pasadena has had an extensive tasting of Pinot Noirs at one setting. Last year was a successful tasting, but this year is something special,” said Mike Farwell, owner of Noir Food & Wine and organizer of the event. “Many wine critics and wine publications rate wines, but this will be the first time all of the Pinots of California will be tasted on such a prestigious list for your critique during the Public Grand Tasting.”
Wineries participating include: Anaba, Sonoma Coast; Badge, Sta. Rita Hills; Carr Wines, Sta. Rita Hills; Chesebro, Carmel Valley; Clary Ranch, Sonoma Coast; Cargasacchi, Sta. Rita Hills; Chesebro, Arroyo Seco; Cordon, Santa Maria; Clos Pepe, Sta Rita Hills; Curran Wines, Sta Rita Hills; Dutton-Goldfield, Russian River Valley; Flying Goat, Sta.

The Public Grand Tasting day on January 30 from 3:00 p.m. to 6:00 p.m. will also benefit Hillsides, a Pasadena foster care children’s charity serving children at risk and families in crisis living in Los Angeles County. Proceeds of ticket sales and the opportunity drawing for wine packages will raise funds for the foster care residential program which has seen a hit by the California’s financial crisis.
Held at the University Club of Pasadena located at 175 North Oakland Avenue in Pasadena, tickets are $75 and $89 at the door. Included in the event admission are: A free Riedel Burgundy/Pinot Noir glass to take home from that day; access to all wines being poured at the event; access to the Peter Cargasacchi Seminar; access to the Wes Hagen Seminar during event; complimentary Charcuterie & Cheese Buffet; complimentary tray passed hors d’oeuvres; complimentary BBQ by Chef Claud Beltran of Noir Food & Wine; access to winemakers and wine experts; purchase wine coordinated by le petit Vendome; and opportunity to create a memory that will last a lifetime at this fabulous event while benefiting a reputable foster care children’s charity in Los Angeles, including Pasadena.
