November 29th
Pinot vs. Merlot: ($50.00)

The King of Red Grapes in North America was toppled from the sales charts nearly four years ago after more than a decade’s reign. Merlot still dominates Pinot Noir in the global scene but domestically the race is much closer- all brought to forefront by the accusations of a Hollywood movie.

A Merlot, as a whole or in part, is one of the most planted red grapes in the world and shines brightly in some of the worlds most sought after wines. It can make wines of plush wines of power, hedonistically orientated or elegantly layered with precision and complexity. Pinot Noir is a difficult animal to tame in both the vineyard and the cellar. It expresses the Jungian duality more aptly than any other grape. From bright and cheerful to dark and brooding- Pinot Noir can produce wines of incredible grace, elegance and ethereal charm

We’ll examine examples of both wines, domestically sourced and from origins abroad, looking for the traits, style, wit and poise to see what merit the Hollywood accusations stand on.
