The Pinot Talks series continued in Ojai, CA, at the Ojai Valley Inn as we explored the world of Pinot Noir through the lens of California and Burgundy. The afternoon included a blind tasting of exceptional California Pinot Noir and Burgundy, which inspired engaging and thought-provoking conversation between our guests and esteemed panelists. Our thanks to the Ojai Valley Inn team – the care and consideration that went into every detail was incredible, and we feel honored to be a part of this new era of curated experiences.
