I have already tasted Pinot Noir from Belgium (IIRC lighter than these Normans and more expensive but elegant) and I believe there is some in the UK going into bubbly blends and maybe also being sold as mono-varietal reds (Peter and Steve do you know the answer to this?). And Pinot Noir in Alsace, Champagne, Loire upstream and Germany is putting on weight.

Paul Winalski wrote:Nearly all of California is too hot and sunny for pinot noir, in my opinion, and the results tend to have all the pinot finesse and character baked out of them, or are vinified as over-oaked fruit bombs. The best examples I've encountered have been from Carneros and southern Sonoma Valley. I was fond of Carneros Creek, but since the phylloxera outbreak awhile back I haven't seen it here in New England. Saintsbury's Carneros bottling has plenty of pinot character and repays aging. I had been drinking it up age 5-10, but I found a couple of 15-year-old bottles that had been misplaced in my cellar, and to my great surprise they were dead ringers for a good Nuits-St.-Georges. I also like Schug's pinot noir.

Tim, don't bet your life savings on it. A serious cooling of Western Europe (for an as yet undetermined length of time) is likely, as additional icemelt in the Northern Hemisphere screws with ocean currents. Oceanographers think the Gulf Stream will no longer bathe the Atlantic coasts of the European mainland and British Isles, radically cooling the climate in the moderate term.
I'm just excited to see another person from Utah!

Nice length, good finish, raspberry...and some earthy tones. $44 Cdn on the shelf.
