While the bacon lovers hit the UIC Forum for BaconFest, pinot fans will be descending upon Navy Pier once again this weekend, for the 6th Annual Pinot Days Chicago. The event – which features more than 100 pinots from 55 producers – runs from 12 – 5 p.m. this Saturday, the 20th. Consumers will be able to sample wines from every important domestic pinot noir region, including: the Russian River Valley; Oregon; Carneros; the Santa Lucia Highlands and the Anderson Valley. It’s a rare chance to taste pinots usually reserved for the west coast.

 

If you haven’t bought your tickets, I’m giving away two pairs today. It’s a quick contest (entry deadline is 6 a.m. tomorrow) so I’ll make it quick:

Just tell me, in 50 words or less, why you deserve the tickets. Extra points for poems and haikus. That’s it. The two best entries win a pair of tickets each. I’ll announce the winners here first thing Friday morning. Good luck, and cheers!

 

If you don’t win, and would still like to attend, you can get 10% off the ticket price by entering HUNGRYHOUND13 in the discount code section when you order tickets online.

  1. Returning from a bisy work trip in the small town of Blytheville, Arkansas.
    Wine lists consisting of Beringer White Zin are all I saw for days.
    Need I say more?

  2. Once upon a Thursday dreary, as I bailed water, weak and weary,
    Salvaging books full of forgotten lore,
    Whilst I mopped, energy sapping, wishing I could be a-napping,
    Dream of Burgandies I could be lapping,
    Only this, a Pinot Noir.
    Soggy boxes, scent like foxes, Are they truly full of rock-ses?
    Shove that mess across the floor.
    Loss of books, oh my, the sorrow! What will get me through tomorrow?
    A quaff so elegant, delicate, scent of black currant it seeks to borrow,
    Only this, a Pinot Noir!
