As an unconventional Thanksgiving weekend comes to a close, we find ourselves looking back fondly to events of years past. And, as one of America's longest running wine festivals, we have quite a few fond memories to conjure up!

We are thankful for our 34 years and we look forward to many more.

Until our return to normal, we invite you to join our table monthly for our virtual, and internationally focused, Pinot Broadcasts.

By attending, your contribution helps our tiny team navigate these unprecedented times until we can celebrate together again. Details and info can be found at ipnc.org.

The final winemaker on our panel this Sunday is the one and only ...

Dominique Lafon

Dominique Lafon was born in Burgundy in August 1958. He studied Viticulture & oenology in Beaune, graduating in 1980 followed by internships in California and Alsace (Domaine Weinbach). From 1982 to 1986 Dominique was employed by Le Serbet (Becky Wasserman) for both buying and sales, while working harvest and following the wines at the family Domaine des Comte Lafon. He returned to the domaine full time in August 1986, taking back the sharecropping arrangements over the next few years. The Domaine was founded by Dominique’s great grandfather, Comte Jules Lafon, in the early 1900s. It owns outstanding white wine (Chardonnay) vineyards in Meursault and Le Montrachet, and red wine vineyards (Pinot Noir) in Volnay and Monthelie. The average total production for 16 hectares (40 acres) is 7,000 cases, of which one third are red. The domaine moved to organic and biodynamic farming by 1998, having started trials in 1995. Dominique purchased for the family a domaine in the Maconnais, Les Héritiers du Comte Lafon, in 1999 – starting with 7ha with additional purchases in 2003, 2009 and between 2014 and 2016 to reach 26 ha today. Dominique started his own company “Dominique Lafon” in 2007, working 4 hectares in the Cote de Beaune. He also consults in Oregon, firstly with 7 Springs vineyard (2007-14) and subsequently with Larry Stone for the Lingua Franca label. Dominique has two children, Léa (born 1989) and Guillaume (1991) with his former wife, Anne Roumier.

Thibault Gagey

Surrounded by the scenic region of Burgundy, Thibault Gagey was educated throughout his teen years on the process of winemaking and business of wine from his grandfather, Andre Gagey and father, Pierre-Henry Gagey, who were both known for their significant roles at Maison Louis Jadot. After building this experience in the wine industry, he returned to Burgundy in 2014 to work for Maison Louis Jadot as the Deputy General Manager. He has since taken an interest in returning to the US for Louis Jadot’s latest project, Résonance, located in the Yamhill-Carlton Valley of Oregon. He has been working alongside family friend and renowned Burgundy winemaker, Jacques Lardière. This exciting new project allows Thibault to work between two beautiful terroirs- Burgundy and Oregon.

Our third panelist crafts wine in both Burgundy and Oregon's Willamette Valley...

Jean-Nicolas Méo

Cofounder and Winemaker: As the owner and winemaker of the Côte d‘Or's famed Domaine Méo-Camuzet, Jean-Nicolas Méo’s path to Oregon’s Willamette Valley first went through the great grands crus of Burgundy, where he spent nearly 30 years making wines from legendary vineyards like Richebourg, Clos de Vougeot, Corton Clos Rognet and Echezeaux. In 2012, inspired by a three-decade interest in the quality and potential of Oregon’s Pinot Noirs, Jean-Nicolas partnered with his longtime friend, Jay Boberg, to found Nicolas-Jay in the Willamette Valley. At Nicolas-Jay, Jean-Nicolas applies insights gained from his experience making Pinot Noirs from some of the world’s greatest winegrowing sites to craft exciting and elegant Pinot Noirs that authentically show the terroir of the Willamette Valley, and some of its very finest vineyards.

The second French-born winemaker on our panel for this Sunday's Broadcast is...

Alexandrine Roy

Alexandrine Roy is the 4th generation of the Roy family to farm her holdings in Gevrey-Chambertin and Marsannay. It is a tiny domaine of just four hectares that is meticulously cared for as if it was a personal garden. Alexandrine is a true farmer, consistently ploughing the soils of her old- vine vineyards (many of which are more than 100 years old) to allow the roots to dig deep into the shallow limestone. The resulting wines from these delicately cared for plots show a lovely purity and elegance that have garnered the domaine praise from around the world. Through minimal intervention and extraction, Alexandrine allows her old vines to express themselves with immense depth of flavor and clarity. For the uninitiated – and there seem to be fewer and fewer each year – Burgundy rarely is as pristine, or downright delicious, than with the extraordinary wines of Alexandrine Roy.

Véronique Drouhin-Boss

Established in 1987, Domaine Drouhin Oregon is owned by the Drouhin Family of Burgundy (Maison Joseph Drouhin). Fourth-generation winemaker Véronique Drouhin-Boss produces wines of distinction, balance, elegance and longevity. Philippe Drouhin, who oversees the family vineyards in Burgundy and Oregon, is responsible for the 225-acre estate. Today, 124 acres are under vine and are certified sustainable by L.I.V.E. The family’s principled approach to viticulture and winemaking, and long experience with Pinot Noir and Chardonnay, have earned an international reputation for excellence. In 2013, the Drouhins purchased the Roserock vineyard in the Eola-Amity Hills, and debuted the Roserock wines in 2016.
