ADD-ON SEMINARS 2013
Guests looking to further their Pinot noir studies are encouraged to attend one of our two add-on seminars. These seminars are held during the relaxed late afternoons on Friday and Saturday. Unlike the University of Pinot courses that take place earlier in the afternoon, these seminars do carry an additional cost due to the rarity of the wines being presented. Because they are held on different days, guests are welcome to purchase tickets to both add-on seminars.‣ADD-ON SEMINAR #1: Grower Champagne with Terry Theise
$150 Friday, July 26th, 4:30-6:00 p.m.
No other individual has done more to introduce Americans to the family-made, small-production wines known as Grower Champagne than Terry Theise. Thanks largely to Terry’s efforts, a wonderful array of Champagnes that are hand-grown and hand-made are now available in the United States. Take advantage of this rare opportunity to meet an iconic figure in the world of wine and join Terry in tasting a selection of his favorite blanc de noir Champagnes. Seating is limited to 50 guests. Please note this seminar is offered as an add-on to the IPNC Full Weekend ticket. $150 Friday, July 26th, 4:30-6:00 p.m.

Terry Theise
Terry Theise, winner of the 2008 James Beard Foundation Award for Oustanding Wine and Spirits Professional, is an importer of boutique wines from Germany, Austria, and Champagne. Known world-wide as a visionary whose love of wine is surpassed only by his appreciation of the winemakers who make them, his articles have appeared in The World of Fine Wine magazine, as well as many other publications, but some of his finest work can be found on the Skurnik Wines website. He was Wine & Spirits magazine’s Man of the Year in 2001 and Food and Wine magazines’s Importer of the Year in 2006. His book, Reading Between the Wines and his new feature-length film Leading Between the Vines explore the true meaning of terroir and serve as windows into the spirit of wine making itself. |
