EXPLORING THE INTERSECTION
OF CALIFORNIAN AND
BURGUNDIAN PINOT NOIR,
KOSTA BROWNE TAKES ITS
SEMINARS ON THE ROAD
LAST DECEMBER, a notable group of trade professionals gathered in a private room at The Battery in San Francisco, where they blind tasted a total of 12 wines from California and Burgundy. So unfolds the simple format for Sebastopol-based winery Kosta Browne’s Pinot Talks seminars, which are embarking on an international tour this year with stops in Los Angeles, New York, Miami, Houston, Las Vegas, Pebble Beach, Chicago, Nantucket, Aspen, London, and Tokyo. “Theidea is not to pit the two regions against one another,” explained moderator Anthony Giglio, “but instead to explore where they intersect, learn from one another, and diverge.”
