*Welcome!* Are you passionate about Western Pinot Noir? I sure am. There are few things I enjoy more than a glass of great Pinot Noir. Whether alone or accompanied by a great meal, few wines can match Pinot's depth, complexity and nuance. And if you love Pinot like I do, this is the newsletter for you! Gregory S.

Join me August 19-29, 2012 for a truly memorable experience. The PinotReport "Passion for Pinot" European River Cruise, will celebrate the 10th anniversary of my Pinot Passion Awards while cruising the the Rhone River from Arles in the south to Beaune in the north. I will be your guide as we explore some beautiful wine country off the ship and some amazing Pinot Passion Award winning wines during our week of tastings, seminars and dinners on board the Uniworld River Royale. Once we reach Beaune, there is an optional "Passion of Burgundy" tour. Spend five days after your cruise on a guided tour of the Burgundy region. This will be a small, intimate group that emphasizes a full immersion in the wines, food and history of the area. I am working with the professionals at Expedia CruiseShipCenters, so rest assured that your cruise will be a truly great and effortless vacation. For information or to book your cruise, contact the center at 877-651-7447 or email northbay@cruiseshipcenters.com. PINOT EVENTS *Give The Gift of PinotReport!* Need A Gift For The New Year?
