Welcome to the 1988 International Pinot Noir Celebration! Once again, winemakers and wine lovers from many different regions of the world have come to Oregon, to celebrate the beauty and diversity of our mutual friend, Plnot nolr.

For all Its charming qualities, Pinot nolr Is an ex acting and difficult wine variety to grow and to produce. 'There are relatively few places in the world where It can be grown successfully. In the winery, too, Pinot nolr must be treated with great care, respect, and love by the people who transform the grapes into wine. These wines are necessarily rare and expensive; as a result, Pinot nolr Is too little known and appreciated.

The winemakers who have assembled for this event represent some of the best vineyards and wineries of France, Germany, New Zealand, Australia, California, Washington and Oregon. They have brought examples of their finest Pinot nolr to taste, explore and enjoy. The climates and sotls of their regions are as distinctive as the winemakers themselves, and the wines will reflect these differences of region and style.

We have gathered together this weekend not In competition, but in friendship, celebration, and the shared pursuit of new knowledge and enjoyment of an old and noble wine variety. Welcome to a weekend of wine, food and fun . . . welcome to a world of Plnot noir! Index
