Pinot producers support Hospice of Sonoma

Here's an event you should definitely consider attending:

The Hospices of Sonoma is an entirely unique Pinot Noir event, modeled after the world-renowned Hospices de Beaune auction. Each November in Beaune, the Hospices de Beaune represents the new Burgundy vintage's first exposure to the public. Similar to the Hospices de Beaune, the Hospices of Sonoma auction is the only place in the world where the public can barrel-taste and bid on the most recent vintage Pinot Noirs from over thirty-five of the world's pre-eminent producers from the Sonoma Coast, Russian River Valley and Green Valley appellations.

May 19th through 21st, $75 (auction only) to $400 (full weekend pass).  Thanks to TR Elliott for the pointer.
