Hi

When it comes to Pinot Noir - call me a wine snob if you like, but only 3 places 'qualify' - Burgundy, Central Otago (NZ), and California (Berringer is nice).

My favourite? - Givry Chambertin (Burgundy) - sadly at least £12 a bottle.

But hey ho - you only live once!

Waipara Hills Pinot Noir (New Zealand) is a particular favourite of mine.

Central Otago, Oceans edge and Cono Sur are all pretty good but perhaps the best Pinot noir I've tasted this year is the 'Saint Clair Pioneer Block 2010' from New Zealand not cheap though at around £16.

Don't know if the "Mods " will allow this post but there is a small Supermarket chain based here in the North West selling "Indomita" a 13% P.N from the Cassablanca Valley at £3.79 ! A steal
Just to balnce things out I have just bought a Tesco online case of 1940 Fairtrade Carmenere anyone tried it yet ?

I love a rose Pinot Noir try the Sancerre Rose from Tesco - sublime.
If it's red I'd have a Tesco Finest Hautes Cotes de Nuits. If was a celebration then I might be tempted by a Vergelesses

Tesco finest central ortago Pinot noir, incredibly silky and beautiful with game.

'Telegraph Station' Pinot Noir was on offer at half price.
Not bad, dark cherries and a mild kick of Peppery spice, slightly tart. Opened up a little on the second day.

Although Central Otago, is still top of my list !
