2007 Weingut Nelles Spätburgunder trocken, Qualitätswein, AP No. 1 907 869 02 08 (Ahr, Germany): Pinot Noir has radically changed in the past – what? 30-40 years? Gone are the days when California couldn’t make a decent Pint Noir...

Hello Hounds, I just posted this and lost it, so I hope it doesn’t show up twice. Anyway, I am looking for a fruit forward (but not cloying) pinot noir for everyday drinking that doesn’t cost a fortune. With Flowers...

I need some help with figuring out what kind of food to pair with Pinot Noir. Does steak pair well? I ask because a good friend of mine recently spent some time roaming the Willamette Valley and picked up a bunch of different...

2006 Harrington Pinot Noir, Brosseau Vineyards (Chalone AVA, Monterey County, California) The bouquet shows notes of green tea, dried herbs and red berries, combined with cedar and earth; more open on the palate, with...

. It clearly is a style which I do not personally enjoy, but many people seem to like it, so . . . . In the case of Sineann, Peter follows a model for his Oregon Pinot Noir that is more typically followed by California wineries...

Hi, Chowhound oenophiles. On a recent trip to the West Coast, we toured some wineries in the Carneros (Napa/Sonoma border) region and bought some bottles of lovely local Pinot Noir. We’re having a few friends over late...
