Pinot in the City
Representatives from more than 60
wineries in Oregon's Willamette Valley
traveled south to San Francisco, Calif.,
recently to share their best bottles with
members of the trade and media in the
wine-focused City by the Bay. Meeting
for the second time at the Golden Gate
Club in the Presidio, wineries shared
samples of the Pinot Noir for which the
region is famous as well as Chardonnay,
sparkling wine and a handful of other
varieties.
