SNOOTH BUYER’S GUIDE:
Pinot Noir Lovers Edition
Welcome my fellow Pinot Noir lovers! I’m thrilled to have this opportunity to share some thoughts with you, all about Pinot Noir of course! What follows is information compiled from recent articles published on Snooth about Pinot Noir in several of its various guises.
While the bulk of the content here is about domestic Pinot Noir, I’ve sandwiched it between two other regions that are well known for their own production: Italy and
Burgundy. In the coming months, I’ll be adding an extensive article on the state of New
Zealand’s Pinot Noirs, with tasting notes of several hundred wines. In addition, you can find ongoing coverage of Pinot Noir on Snooth, as we taste your favorite wines throughout the year.
We hope you enjoy these articles, and will come to Snooth to share your opinions, tasting notes and of course favorite Pinot Noirs with like minded wine lovers!
