Fine Wine & Good Spirits Presents: Actor Kurt Russell

Kurt Russell will be signing bottles of his Gogi Wines including his Goldie Chardonnay, 91 points Wine Spectator, April 2021 and his Erinn Pinot Noir, 92 points Wine Spectator, and Wine Enthusiast.

“My romance with wine began many years ago on bicycle trips with Goldie and our family through the great wine regions of France, Italy and California. Those fabulous excursions through picturesque vineyards provided the opportunity to sample many terrific wines. “Sampling” might be putting it lightly, especially where Burgundy is concerned. Those wines didn’t just steal my palate, they stole my heart. It wasn’t long before the dream of creating beautiful wines of my own (specifically Pinot Noir) was born. The many treasured conversations I’ve shared with various winemakers and producers from Burgundy to Bordeaux and Tuscany to Napa served to fuel my dream to someday take the leap from fantasy to reality.”

Meet Kurt Saturday October 22 11am-3pm session, limited tickets available for his on-stage presentation as he pairs his wines with incredible dishes followed by a bottle signing of his Goldie Chardonnay and Erinn Pinot Noir. Kurt Russells Gogi Wines are available for purchase at the Fine Wine & Good Spirits on-site store at the event.
