Sideways may have been a fictional tale, but the elusive and obsession-inducing qualities of Pinot Noir are completely true.
Consider Siduri Wines, a winery that produces only Pinot Noir, all single-vineyard releases from its 20 vineyards in California and Oregon. Owners Adam and Diana Lee’s devotion to the grape has earned their Pinots praise from some of the biggest names in the wine biz.
This Wednesday, you can meet Adam Lee in person, at a special Cowboy Ciao event (7 p.m., $95 per person). Siduri wines will be paired with six courses created by executive chef Bernie Kantak and pastry chef Tracy Dempsey. Get a look at the menu:
