Interesting. White and red wine grape area in Germany. Until 2006, the white-red gap was shrinking; since then, it has been growing again (in 2022, the white share was 68.4%). #winesofgermany #germanwine #riesling #pinotnoir

Wine Grapes in #Oregon. Pinot Noir is a distant #1 accounting for 60% of planted acreage and 66% of overall production value - followed by Pinot Gris and Chardonnay. - However, due to their higher yields, Chardonnay and Pinot Blanc exhibit higher per acre production values. #viticulture #grapes #pinotnoir

It's 8 degrees C outside so how do we while away some time? A tasting at the Philip Shaw Wines cellar door in front of a log fire will do just nicely!

A great selection of cool climate varietals, the riesling and this pinot noir were both outstanding. If you see a bottle pick one up, I don't think you will be disappointed! #orange #orangewineregion #wine #riesling #pinotnoir

I posted on even older vintages of late, but just a few years of extra youth really mattered here. The fruit here was fresher. It was in a pretty good place. I love the tightly wound feel to this, the blackberries and plums.

This lovely Pinot Noir from Slovenia and Jakoncic has fleshed out since I first saw it. It has evolved and it is showing beautifully now--elegant, polished and flavorful. Although this has certainly improved, the problem here was never the quality, but the price. In the US, I was given a suggested retail of $120. That's going to be pretty tough. It is ready to roll today

@AlexGBardsley They are coming thru town and doing a #tasting in the Shop on 3 May … I’m leaning towards having it on the bar that evening for #OregonWineMonth cause it ain’t #PinotNoir or #Chardonnay and, once people try it, I think they’ll buy it…

We are hosting Illahe Vineyards from the Willamette Valley for #OregonWineMonth on May 3rd and I needed to taste thru some more of their wines in preparation. So, my rep from Potomac Selections brought by another bag of #wine, including their #Tempranillo #Rose, #sparkling, and a single-vineyard #PinotNoir.

Tonight’s #saturdaynightred is a wee Bourgogne Pinot Noir from one of my favourites, Mark Haisma.
A tasty red that worked well with a selection of chicken bits on the bbq.
This is the first of his 2019s I’ve opened and it tasted fruity & fresh. Yum ☺️
I’ve been buying Mark’s wines since his 2013 vintage and I think this is the year to finally crack into some of his older red wines that I’ve patiently left sleeping - watch this space 🍷

The #CentralOtago #chardonnay are really good - this article suggests that #climateChange is the cause

True that our harvest is a full 3 weeks earlier than it was only 15 years ago. That's a huge shift!
