The 2nd Annual #PinotSmackdown!
#PinotSmackdown is a celebration of the world's most expressive wine grape combined with a knock-down, drag-out cage fight between YOUR FAVORITE Pinot-producing regions!
DATE: August 12, 2011
TIME: 24 hours in order to give everyone time to share a glass when it makes sense in their time zone.
IN REAL LIFE: Details coming soon (via @winetonite)
This event is FREE and all you need to participate is wine and Twitter, Facebook or your favorite social channel.
Everyone is encouraged to invite wine lovers to your location and make the Twitter stream of #PinotSmackdown tweets visible to attendees. We like to use Tweetdeck, TweetChat.com or Twitterfall.com to display all the tweets with the hashtag "#PinotSmackdown"
But, Wait! There's a twist... who makes the best Pinot you've ever tasted? To vote via your tweets simply add another 2-character hashtag after #PinotNoir and we'll count the votes so that region gets bragging rights for the night!
