Hot Date: Taste 50 World Class Pinot Noirs for $50 on Monday, March 25


Once a year, Sigel’s puts together a stellar lineup of pinot noirs, pops the corks, unscrews the caps and pours big glugs into nice glasses for a small group of wine lovers. Considering the caliber of the wines served and the $50 door charge, this is by far the best pinot tasting of the year.

Jasper Russo, who coordinates the event, writes that the annual event “has become such a success we  are now being approached by wineries wanting to participate months before the event. So this year we have expanded the selection to include 50 great offerings from California, Oregon, Italy and Burgundy!.”

This year, the Benchmark Pinot Noir Tasting is set for Monday, March 25, from 5:30 til 8 pm at the Park Cities Club in Dallas. Great wines, great view of downtown, great snacks, even better value.  Get your fingers moving, because this event is going to fill up fast.

Says Russo: Reservations may be made by MasterCard, Visa, American Express or Discover through Sigel’s. Due to the necessity of a restaurant guarantee, no cancellationswill be accepted after 12 noon, Friday March 22nd.  All reservations will be charged accordingly.  For reservations please contact:
