Ep 491: The Grape Mini-Series -- The Pinot Noir Refresh

<p class="MsoNormal">Pinot Noir is a challenging grape. It’s hard to grow, hard to work with in the cellar, and the style varies drastically based on where it’s made, who is making it, and when it was grown (vintage).</p> <p class="MsoNormal"> </p> <p class="MsoNormal">We haven’t covered Pinot in a decade, so we decided to do a reboot on the grape mini-series and add all the new information and insights I’ve gathered over the last 10+ years since the last one. From clones to climate change, we give the full story on Pinot and talk about how no two wines are alike and the many reasons they differ.</p> <p class="MsoNormal"><img src= "https://assets.libsyn.com/secure/show/45638/2.png" alt="" width= "468" height="316" /></p> <p class="MsoNormal">We cover the main growing regions in the Old World – Burgundy, Germany, Italy, etc – and the New World – California, Oregon, New Zealand, Chile, Australia and more – and discuss the style differences between the major regions.</p> <p class="MsoNormal"><img src= "https://assets.libsyn.com/secure/show/45638/1.png" alt="" width= "454" height="305" /></p> <p class="MsoNormal">This show is packed with information (and it’s got my opinions too, which may not be yours…don’t be offended!). If you love Pinot, check regularly on winefornormalpeople.com/classes for the Pinot Noir Around the World class, taught twice a year, and the Wines of Burgundy class, which is an intensive look at the birthplace of Pinot.  Enjoy!</p> <p> </p> <p><em><strong>Podcasts Referenced:</strong></em></p> <h2 class="section-heading"><span style= "font-size: 12pt;"><a class="read_more" href= "https://winefornormalpeople.libsyn.com/ep-296-boundary-breaks-of-the-finger-lakes-where-terroir-reigns-supreme" data-iframe-id="embed_11462120">Ep 296: Boundary Breaks of the Finger Lakes, Where Terroir Reigns Supreme</a></span></h2> <h2 class="section-heading"><span style= "font-size: 12pt;"><a class="read_more" href= "https://winefornormalpeople.libsyn.com/ep-269-from-doctor-to-one-woman-winery-kerith-overstreet-of-bru
