2024 ABQ Wine Classic
Pinot Noir Festival
Sunday, October 20
ABQ Wine Classic Pinot Noir Festival
Seasons Rotisserie & Grill in Old Town
When our Santa Fe friends, Brad and Belinda Karp, Scott McIntyre, and Dan Merians generously donated this collection of North American Pinot Noir and Chardonnay, we knew we had to create something special to show off the wines! The producers include some of the top names from Willamette Valley, Sonoma, Santa Cruz Mountains, and Santa Barbara.
We will set up pouring stations, splitting the wines into regional groups for your tasting pleasure, with guest sommeliers Greg O’Byrne, Byron Rudolph, and David Hunter. Seasons Rotisserie & Grill will put together food stations on the upstairs terrace with delectable bites complementing the Pinot Noir and Chardonnay for your palate’s pleasure.
2:00-5:00pm | Seasons Rotisserie & Grill | $150
