If you’re one of the cursed that has been bitten by the Pinot Noir bug, then you know that it can be a wonderful burden to carry. Forever on the quest for the next best high; that next sip of delicious Pinot Noir that will send you right back into oblivion for a moment, then leave you wanting more. How many sips of mediocrity does it take before you get to the ones that really give you a “mind change”? That blow you away? That really make you stop and take notice?\u00a0<\/p>\n
Okay, enough about the philosophical Pinot talk…let’s get down to business…we attended the 2012 World of Pinot Noir<\/a> at the Cliffs Resort <\/a>in Shell Beach. This is the mecca of Pinot Noir, if you’re into that kind of thing. It’s all about Pinot Noir, and nothing else…classic Pinots, cutting edge Pinots, old world, new world, and just interesting Pinots. There are Pinot Noir producers from all over the Central Coast, Oregon, Washington, New Zealand, Australia…you get the idea. We tried to get as many sips of Pinot in as we could, always looking for the next best one. We got to taste some incredible Pinots, as well as some that weren’t so incredible. It’s sort of like life; if you don’t get a range of tastes and experiences, you can’t appreciate the really good stuff, right?!?!<\/p>\n So, here we go, taking you on a virtual slide show tour of the Pinot Noirs that we tasted, the views that we had and the overall vibe of the scene. This is a great event, not to be missed if you like that kind of thing…check it out and be sure to join us there next year. Cheers!!!!<\/p>\n\n\n![\"Cincopa](\"\/\/www.cincopa.com\/media-platform\/runtime\/loading.gif\")
