The Expanding World of Pinot Noir

New Zealand gets in on the Pinot action.

What’s your favourite Pinot Noir? Either a specific wine or a region. I am really getting into the bigger NZ Pinots but also have time for the lighter VIC versions. Since moving to Australia we have become rather obsessed...

Here is a link to an article on pinot noir in today’s SF Chronicle. The only pinot under $20 they recommend is the Russian River Pinot from Kenwood....

I’m inspired by the recent NYT article on the new trend in California Pinot Noirs ( http://www.nytimes.com/2009/03/11/dining/11pour.html?em ) to seek out a few of these “finesse” wines and serve them at dinner....

I had a great glass of PN yesterday. On the bottle it read, "Consensus 100% Pinot Noir". Does anyone know this wine and who the producer is?

My husband and I tried Amici Pinot Noir, I think it’s a 2003 vintage, over a year ago and now we are unable to enjoy any other Pinot. It’s price point is more than we normally spend for a bottle of wine, around $50 a...

I am making a dinner tonight using either snapper, sea trout or pompano (depending on what my dinner guests catch) and need a recipe that will pair a lightly flavored fish with a magnificent pinot noir they are bringing along....

négociant Pinot Noir in and around the $15 mark (I’m thinking Joseph Drouhin Lafôret as an example), but your price point is a bit low for many French Bourgogne Pinot Noirs. This is one area where California does offer a...

If you are not a purist, TJ has some 2000 Black Mountain Pinot Noir “Painted Ranches” at $5.99. Tastes good, though not as subtle as your garden variety pinot noir. Still, very drinkable.

The search for a decent Pinot Noir under $15 has some similarities to trying to find a needle in a haystack. A year ago I was thrilled to be able to recommend one here....
