Just a few highlights from the trove of Pinot Noir (and one Riesling too good not to post) on offer today at the Anderson Valley Pinot Noir Festival. Perfect weather, fun music, good food, and boatloads of good Pinot. @avwinegrowers.

Had lots of fun today moderating 2 panels at the Anderson Valley Pinot fest #avpinot for @avwinegrowers - Old Roots with some AVA founders like @navarro.wines @greenwood_ridge, and @scharffenbergercellars; and New Shoots w/ fresh faces like Shalini of @WaitsMast, @darrin.low of @domaineanderson, and @lottyashley of @readhollandwines. Great stories, insights, and some really excellent wines. Especially nice treat to taste a 2000 Scharffenberger Brut.
