Pinot Noir Tasting



A great time was had by all. Too bad Joe L. and Drew had to leave before the pic was taken. The theme was American Pinot Noir, with wines from various appellations in California and Oregon, with a couple of curve balls, one from Italy and one home made wine. Here are the results from worst to best:

8. Kanzler Pinot Noir, (Cal, Sonoma), 2006- average score 2.07- $59.99
7. Capiaux, Gary's Pinot Noir,(Cal, Sonoma) 2007- Average score 2.21- $44.99
6. Vince's Nasty homemade Cab 2007- (curve ball) 2.71 -$11.00
5. Loring Keefer Pinot, 2007(Cal Central Coast) - 2.8- $49.99
4. Roco Pinot Noir, 2006 (Oregon-Williamette Valley) -2.93-$31.99
3. Madonna Alta Pino Noir,, 2007 (Italy) 3.07- $19.99
2. Etude Pinot Noir Carneros, 2006 (Cal, Napa) 3.21- $35.99
1. Boedecker Shea Pinot Noir, 2006 (Oregon- Williamette Valley) 3.43- $45.00

Once again, shows you that high price does not translate into high quality.
