Thanks to Caprial and John

A great time was had by all at our pre-IPNC dinner tasting featuring the cuisine of Caprial and John Pence of Caprial's Bistro in Portland. The chefs certainly lived up to their famed reputation producing an elegant meal that beautifully showed-off all the wonderful pinot noir wines provided by our guest wineries and, of course, our own Anne Amie Vineyards Pinot Noir selections.

We were often asked why we would showcase a group of California Pinot Noir producers here at our winery in Oregon, but anyone who tasted those wonderful wines knows why. The beauty of pinot noir is its ability to show the unique characteristics of the vineyards where it is grown and the lovely diversity of the excellent wines tasted underscored that beauty. Our goal for the evening was to celebrate that exciting diversity and share the passion and talent of the gifted winemakers that were our guests for the evening.

Great food, great wine and a perfect sunset made for an evening that will be well remembered by all who attended.
