The IPNC consistently attracts the brightest stars in the wine world... perhaps best of all is the opportunity to interact with pinot producers from all of the world's greatest regions.

I'd recommend IPNC as an intro for casual Pinot lovers or a full-on master class for winemakers. Actually, I'd say it's required!

IPNC is one of those rare wine gatherings that works on every level

The New York Times - Eric Asimov
One of the most enjoyable wine weekends in the world
