We've enjoyed reading about the wonderful memories and meals being shared by fans of @paleysplace and of Vitaly and Kimberly Paley. Stellar human beings, they have been incredible supporters of IPNC over the years. IPNC has been lucky to share Vitaly's talents with guests a dozen times since his first appearance in 1998. He also served on the IPNC Board of Directors from 2001-2004. Vitaly's participation has greatly contributed to IPNC's acclaimed culinary reputation while his mentorship has developed a new generation of cooking talent in the Pacific Northwest. Cheers to you, Vitaly! Our best wishes to you and Kimberly as you embark upon your next adventure. Photo credit: Carolyn Wells Kramer, 2019

With all this talk of Holiday wine pairings, we can't help but daydream about the legendary IPNC Salmon Bake. Watch for updates here about à la carte Salmon Bake tickets. We release a handful to the public each year, but for now the only way to attend is by purchasing tickets to the Full Weekend. Next year's IPNC is going to be unforgettable, from the Salmon Bake to Passport to Pinot... and every activity in between. We are well over three-quarters of the way to a sold-out weekend and encourage you to buy tickets while you still can!

Included with your IPNC weekend ticket is access to one of several in-depth themed sessions on topics ranging across the spectrum of the wine world. Speakers include international luminaries sharing their wealth of knowledge. And, of course, there are the wines...

One of the greatest delights of IPNC is getting to share your most coveted (and sometimes biggest!) bottles with other attendees. There is nothing like the table-hopping that occurs as bottles are uncorked and the wine starts to flow. What's the most mind-blowing bottle you've ever had the pleasure of sharing at IPNC?

The IPNC family is deeply saddened by the loss of Maria Stuart, co-founder of R. Stuart & Co Winery (@rstuartwine) and an integral contributor to the IPNC on many levels. Maria passed away on Wednesday, October 13 after living with a rare form of cancer for 20 months. Maria’s enormous heart and commitment to community were deeply felt at the IPNC. She began working with IPNC in 1996 and became executive director in 1997, the same year in which she also gave birth to her oldest child, Joe – on the afternoon of the Salmon Bake! Maria’s long list of contributions to IPNC was just beginning. The Grand Seminar theme in 1997 was “A Burgundian Travelogue” with iconic wine writer Remington Norman as the guide. The seminar featured a number of wines presented by top-shelf Burgundian producers. In 1998, she executed a ground-breaking seminar “Terroir and the Winemaker”, with three Willamette Valley winemakers showing wines made from fruit they swapped for an experiment especially designed for IPNC. Maria also served on the IPNC Board of Directors from 2012 - 2017, and was board President in 2016. That year's program was “Pinot Noir in the Antipodes” with Australian author and winemaker James Halladay as the moderator. Even when not serving in an official capacity, her love for IPNC was always deeply felt and appreciated. She was one of the greatest champions of the event, and served as an irreplaceable resource for creativity and inspiration for members of our board and staff alike. Her light, love, and vivacity will resonate through many IPNCs to come. Contributions can be made in her name to ¡Salud! Pinot Noir Barrel Auction, McMinnville Community Action or the McMinnville Education Foundation.

We can't wait for IPNC Vineyard Tours & Winery Lunches to return next year, along with all the other amazing festivities we have planned. Every summer, weekend ticket holders travel through the vine-covered countryside to a nearby Willamette Valley winery for a guided stroll through the vineyard, a winemaker-led tasting, and a chef-prepared multi-course lunch. Is it summer yet?
