A family isn’t always defined by a group consisting of parents and children. Sometimes a family is a group of related things – like different varietals of Pinot – or a group of people who share a bond created by similar interests and goals – like people who love Pinot and raising funds for an important cause.

The 6th Annual Pinot Family Reunion at Vintners Inn and John Ash & Co. restaurant brings together over 40 Sonoma County wineries, local Sonoma County food purveyors, and live music from a Sonoma County band to present this event that benefits the Sutter North Bay Women’s Breast Care Center.

The afternoon begins Sunday, July 11, 2010 at 1 p.m. Your $50 ticket to the tasting at the Vintners Inn Event Center allows you to enjoy Pinot from Sonoma County wineries such as; Benziger Family Winery, Ferrari-Carano Vineyards and Winery, Gary Farrell Winery, Iron Horse Vineyards, Paradise Ridge Winery, Rodney Strong Vineyards, and many others.
