The World of Pinot

A Focused Tasting at Vinology

Led by David Schildknecht

Few grapes inspire as much devotion—or frustration—as Pinot Noir. Delicate yet powerful, transparent yet complex, Pinot has earned its reputation as the wine world’s most elusive and seductive darling.

The World of Pinot is a single, two-hour deep dive led by David Schildknecht, highlighting outstanding expressions of Pinot Noir from both the United States and Europe. This class is designed to explore why Pinot behaves so differently depending on where it’s grown, and what makes the best examples so compelling.

Through guided tasting and discussion, you’ll experience how climate, soil, and winemaking choices shape this notoriously expressive grape—without overcomplicating the conversation.
