Pirie South Pinot Noir 2006
Friday, May 9th, 2008“Serve this Pinot Noir cool (my emphasis) in a big glass to fully appreciate……” so said the label on the back of this wine. So why are most bloody restaurants so bloody determined to serve me red wine so bloody warm????
I realised recently, that I had been ignoring Oz wines (sorry Edward!), and that I have not visited Majestic in ages so, on the way back from a Saturday morning haircut recently, I dropped in to see if I could combine these two shortfalls by asking what the inhabitants of Van Diemen’s land could do with the sex kitten of grapes.  Majestic came up with this gem at a mere £9.99.Â
When you live in the northern hemisphere, it is easy to forget that in Oz, the further south you go, the closer you are to a frozen pole. So maybe Tasmania is the Pinot Noir friendly Bourgogne-u-like to Clare Valley’s Cabernet Sauvignon friendly Bordeaux-wish-it-was? I have a different theory, as you might expect.
Stumble It!
