Arlot's Les Suchots 1995, arrives at Age 30 year: Typical pale Pinot, but not mostly age-created color--I don't recall that's changed TOO much since I bought it c. 1997. The label is sure faded though! The wine is vibrant & lovely, however--raspberries, a bright feel, mid-palate finesse and a hint of earth. It adds complexity, not decay, faded then improved on day two.

Today’s excerpt from Culinary Approach to Wine In Restaurants is on employing wines in the Pinot family to illustrate the basic principles of wine and food matching in terms of contrast and similarity, while utilizing dishes to familiarize guests with higher acid alternative style wines.

And finally, that last bottle moment. It held beautifully, even better than the penultimate one--bright, silky, a touch of tart raspberries. It's aromatic, in great shape and focused, good depth, earthy hint. This was always a fine '96 from Laurent. Still is. About $46 then (circa 1997). 13% on label. #burgundy #wine #pinotnoir

(Went very well with the Eagles trouncing the Commanders. Just sayin'. 🍷 )

Well this may get lost in the Black Friday shuffle, but....

California Pinot can't age? This producer has made a few that age just fine! Still amazing how great this was nearing age 30. The color gives it mostly a youthful appearance for its age. It's silky, delicious and bright. It has the combo of finesse and flavor I want from Pinot. It added complexity as it aired out. This was gorgeous. These days, about $100 for new vintages. #wine #pinotnoir #california

I don’t always write about #wine on the beer blog, but here’s a good reason to do so: Left Coast Estate, a winery based in Rickreall, Oregon, launched its Pinot for the People charitable wine sale for the month of November, which is a campaign to donate $5 from every bottle of its 2022 Cali’s Cuvée Pinot Noir sold to one of three nonprofit organizations.
