Neat Thoughts About Food, Wine, Travel & More
I had this wine in Quebec at an outdoor party where it was paired with Dad’s Quebec Smoked Meat Sandwiches.
In the glass, this nicely-balanced wine is a medium red. The ripe cherry nose is fruity and bright. In the mouth, there is a nice level of acidity and cherries mix with strawberries on this light-medium bodied French Pinot Noir.
Pairings: Salmon, pork, roast chicken or duck. Pairs well with most food.
Style: Red
Grape Type(s): Pinot Noir
Region: Burgundy, France
Price: $15
I had the privilege of sampling eight Domaine Tortochot wines at a recent event and was wowed by all of them. This wine is the ‘entry level’ wine for this producer and it’s delicious.
In the glass is purple in color pushing me for that first sniff. Beautiful fruity nose and aromas finishing with slightly spicy notes. Really nice lighter-bodied Grand Vin de Bourgogne.
Pairings: Grilled chicken or duck. Seared tuna.
Style: Red
Grape Type(s): Pinot Noir
Region: Burgundy, France
Around $40
I felt fortunate to sample this outstanding Pinot Noir at a local wine tasting last week. Just everything I love about this varietal: Beautiful purple in the glass, noseful of cherries and rich yet bright flavors of ripe cherries, raspberries and wild strawberries.
This fruit forward French Pinot Noir is silky, elegant and just super.
Pairings: Roasted turkey, grilled chicken or duck and pork.
Style: Red
Grape Type(s): Pinot Noir
Region: Burgundy, France
Around $45.
Vibrant purple in the glass (like it already). There’s a little smoke on the intense ripe fruit nose (like it even more). On the palate, it’s a mouthful of cherries with a medium body that offers a long sweet finish (love it).
Style: Red Wine
Grape Type(s): Pinot Noir
Region: Burgundy, France
Around $25
