  • It's the tops; there is nothing as well-run and instructive

    The New York Times - Frank Prial

  • The IPNC offers great foods, fantastic wines, and interesting lectures all wrapped up in a very casual, relaxed atmosphere that simply makes it a joy to attend.

    Vinography - Alder Yarrow

  • 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!

    Sunset Magazine - Sara Schneider

  • 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

  • Despite Oregonians' inherent modesty and laid-back-to-the-point-of-sleepy nature, they manage to throw one hell of a festival

Our final panelist for this Saturday's Broadcast... Michael Fay It was always Michael Fay’s dream to return to the Pacific Northwest and Oregon specifically as the Willamette Valley is the spiritual home and quality standard for Pinot Noir in North America. In May of 2017, Michael started in the role of Director of Winemaking and Viticulture at Domaine Serene Winery & Vineyards. Michael oversees the talented team of winemakers and viticulturalists at both Domaine Serene, located in the beautiful Dundee Hills of the Willamette Valley, and Château de la Crée in the Santenay region of Burgundy’s historic Côte de Beaune. There is still time to join us. Visit www.ipnc.org today!

Next on our list is the talented... Shane Moore Gran Moraine winemaker Shane Moore toes the line of recklessness to create wines that capture the best of our Yamhill-Carlton AVA vineyards. The diversity of sun exposures, elevations, rootstocks, and clones in our estate vineyards translate into a varied lineup of Pinot Noir, Chardonnay, Rosé of Pinot Noir and Brut Rosé—each with its own personality. Uniting them all is a lively, linear grace that brightens the palate and lightens the soul. Only a few more days until we connect Burgundy and Oregon for Episode III. Visit www.ipnc.org for details today!
