The First Annual Pinot Days was an amazing success- the event was well organized, our wines were well received, and the mailing list sign ups were tremendous.

Here is an aggregation feedback, specific tasting notes, and links to reports on the event:

"[the wines]that rocked were Dain, Eno, Loring, August West, George, Siduri (RRV and Pisoni '04 barrel samps) and a killer rose from Nicholson Ranch."
- Andrew Vingiello, AP Vin

"...your 2004 Fairview was my top wine of the event"
- Moderator of Vinocellar

"Eno- Sasha's Pinots keep getting better and better with each release."
- Brian Loring, Loring Wine Company
