It's here, it's here! Pinot on the River. The Russian River, that is.

Starting today and running through Sunday, Pinot Noir will be the focus in the Russian River Valley this weekend. Russian River Vineyards in Forestville plays host to this year's fest featuring top Pinot producers from the area.

Enjoy wine-tasting, seminars, tours, and delicious culinary treats. The events kick off with dinner tonight. Online tickets are unfortunately no longer available. (You snooze, you lose.) But you can still call and beg at (707) 887-3344.

Here's the schedule of events.
