" It was a great privilege to be invited to such an awesome event. I have learned many things about the Russian River, the people, and the wines. "

"I loved the culture that all the winemakers and wineries have reflected on me. Their hospitality,
passion, sincerity, and commitment were very impressive. They were exited about sharing, teaching,
and meeting the sommeliers. I left home feeling that I had made some awesome friends
that I plan to keep for a very long time."

2008 will likely go down in the books as our most lively Pinot Forum yet. The attendees were eager to take in all that the Russian River Valley had to offer, morning, noon and night. The delicious Grand Dinner was once again catered by Willi's (for the third year running). The Bacchanalia this year became a Spanish theme with everyone wearing white, which seemed to naturally cry out for some togas to creep in! In between all the fun and frolicking, our guests tell us they actually went home having learned a lot, too.
