Pinot Smackdown 2012

  • What: 2012 Pinot Smackdown
  • When: 5 pm, Thursday, September 6, 2012
  • Where: Poolside at Valley River Inn
  • Why: We love Oregon Pinot Noir
Wondering what in the world the Pinot Smackdown is? It’s an annual, knock-down, drag-out global wine tasting brawl to see which region from around the world has the best and most-raved-about Pinot Noirs. Pinot lovers from around the world will use their favorite social media outlets for one 24 hour period to taste, review, and rate Pinot’s from their favorite regions.

What better time is there to gather our regions wine enthusiasts, all in one place, to celebrate and brag about the varietal we, here in the south Willamette Valley, are most well known for: Pinot Noir.

Our local Eugene event was organized by Wine Events Oregon, so join me, poolside, at Valley River Inn on September 6 at 5 pm to virtually support our beautiful state of Oregon and our stellar south Willamette Valley wine region. Bring your Laptop, iPad, Tablet or smartphone, grab a glass of Oregon Pinot Noir from the bar at Valley River Inn or from one of the local participating wineries, log on to your favorite social media outlet and start tasting and bragging. Use the hashtags #Pinotsmackdown #OR and #SWV at the end of every post.
