There's nothing like a glass of pinot noir to brighten your day.
At least, that's how I felt when I accepted two tickets to attend Pinot Days on January 15th, a Southern California wine tasting extravaganza celebrating wine made from the pinot noir grape.
Even though I consider myself a bonafide pinotphile, this would be my first trip to Pinot Days. The annual event is held in the Barker Hanger at Santa Monica Airport, a huge venue meant to house airplanes. That gave me an idea of just how much pinot noir was going to be on display. It promised to be a pinotphile's vision of heaven.
