wineLA Presents: Pinot Taste Off

PINOT TASTE OFF - we learn, we laugh, we love to taste... BLIND... 21 wines when sold out... Which is Central Coast, Which is Northern California, which is not? Can you find the Chilean? The Oregon or New Zealand.... what is the difference? We call it... Central Coast vs. Northern California vs. The World

We cover a ton of ground and have a ton of fun doing it... and at the end of the night we pick a favorite or two!!! It's the PINOT TASTE OFF - limited to 24 guests. We use the best in glassware, and provide a petite cheese plate from Chefs’ Warehouse. No prerequisite here - come and learn... experts are encouraged to be vocal.

Class is hosted by Ian Blackburn, 25 year wine industry Vet and he knows many of these producers - personally. Bring a friend or 3 or come along and make new wine friends. Our downtown loft is private, comfortable, and well-suited.

DRESS CODE: "come as you are" - some make a night of it and roll out to the dozens of hot-spots within walking distance of the loft.

PARKING: UBER or LYFT are recommended and as easy as can be, but street-parking is free in the Arts District.

Central Coast vs. Northern California vs. The World

*To protect the events - we agree to open on bottle per guest - the amount of wine we pour remains consistent - more people = smaller pours of more wines... fewer people = larger pours of fewer wines - A minimum 12 wines will be opened.

This is a ticketed event for a wine tasting - the appearance or lack of appearance of any one wine will not determine the value of this experience.
