Show Notes

The Fickle Grape Heartbreak Grape. Pinot Noir is the diva of grapes - not too hot, not too cold, not too wet, not too dry. When the conditions are good, it can reward wine makers with some of the most exquisite wine in the world. Styles varies - in Burgundy it’s all about the terroir with wines from small appellations such as Domain Romanee Conti commanding thousands of dollars.
