Strong fruit flavor and aroma and not too tart. It's fruit flavor lingers in your mouth! VERY enjoyable and reasonably priced, I get mine locally for Just under $10 a bottle. I like it best chilled in the fridge. Sorry if I don't sound like a Wine pro yet! I just started enjoying wine and this Pinot is really delightful! Strong fruit flavor and aroma and not too tart.

My choice is Pinot Noir and I have already given you a couple of Pinot’s to pick up if you have a large group to feed, but I think I will choose a Ponzi Pinot Noir 2002 from Oregon’s Willamette Valley I first reviewed in Winecast 8, with White Rose Estate Pinot Noir 2002 as my back-up bottle (although I might be tempted to call an audible and drink this one first!). Another tradition we have is to start off the festivities with a glass of Beaujolais nouveau. This year I have 4 of them to taste for an upcoming podcast, but probably will pull the dependable Louis Tete bottling, like my podcast buddy Alan, a.k.a. The Cellar Rat, already has.

Of the two I talked about on this podcast, the Mark West fits this profile best. If you can spend a few more bucks, check out Acacia Beckstoffer Las Amigas Vineyard or any number of wines from Burgundy. Let me know what you ended up with and how you liked the match. Ponzi Pinot Noir 2002 will be on my table this year.
