Ahhhhh.......Pinot Noir. Just saying those two works can make most wine lovers swoon. But what is it about Pinot Noir that so many love? A fickle grape that requires optimum growing conditions, Pinot Noir is typically a lighter-medium bodied, fruit-forward red wine. Originally the noble red grape of Burgundy, Pinot Noir is grown today in Oregon, California, New Zealand, Australia, Chile, France, Spain, Germany and Italy. When Pinot Days Southern California came to Los Angeles, bringing more than 40 Pinot Noir producers for an afteroon of tasting, I thought is was a good chance to ask some winemakers, and others, what Pinot Noir means to them.

The best way to learn about wine is to taste wine.  But, it's understandable if you would prefer to taste before you commit to buying one. That's why one of the great things wine retail stores offer are regular wine tastings that focus on a region, producer or varietal. For anywhere between $5-$25, you can taste a selection of wines and if you find one (or more that you like) you can buy it on the spot!   In a city like Los Angeles, you can most likely find an in-store tasting on any given night/day of the week. Here is a list of some of the local stores in Los Angeles that offer tastings.
