pasadena pinotfest

while searching for the perfect christmas gift for my husband, i came across an email from localwineevents.com in my inbox. the subject? 2011 pasadena pinotfest! since i'm a self-declared wine-o, i bought tickets immediately.

the event is on february 12th (a saturday) from 1 to 5pm at the altadena town and country club. apparently there will be over 100 wineries offering tastings of their pinot noirs and even some of the other wines in their repertoire. there will be food, but it will most likely be cheese and meat - don't count on any vegan snacks. i would suggest eating something beforehand and making dinner reservations for right afterwards. needless to say, you'll probably be a little tipsy come 5 o' clock.

here are some of the wineries that will be in attendance.

here is a blog post from someone who went last year and loved it.

hope to see you there!
