There are wine tastings, and then there are wine tastings. And then, there are experiences that completely transcend a bunch of tables with vintners standing behind them pouring their wines. I’ve been to a few “destination” wine experiences, some of which have been great, but none of which have been better than the International Pinot Noir Conference that takes place every year in McMinnville, Oregon.
I really wish I lived closer to where these sorts of things happen. Basically, we get the occasional Wine Spectator big tasting event in Chicago–but they ALWAYS do it in the middle of the week. Not a good option for those of us who have to work M-F schedule. New York and Vegas can get a weekend, why can’t Chicago?
Oh well…my wine consumption is so far down I wouldn’t be able to handle an event like these. I’m going to have to get back to my regular consumption, which may be easier in a few weeks when Baby Winegeek arrives and Mrs. Winegeek can enjoy wine more frequently again.
