Pinot Noir’s association with sensuality derives from the remarkably supple, silky textures and erotically earthy aromas that great Pinot Noirs display. In your mouth the best Pinots exude warm baked cherries, plums, mushrooms, cedar, cigars, chocolate, and dry leaves. Pinots are lighter in body and far less tannic than cabernet sauvignon. It is lighter in color also, but Pinot Noir’s flavors are just as full and irresistible. A great Pinot Noir can be an incomparable, potentially life-changing experience. Compared to other grape varieties, Pinot Noir is finicky, erratic, difficult to work with, and painfully sensitive to conditions that range from where it's planted to when it’s bottled (which, by the way, is why it's expensive). And yet, there's something about Pinot Noir that keeps its fans lining up for more. To its fans, Pinot's unpredictability is part of its appeal. It has been said that anyone who grows Pinot Noir has to be a bit of a masochist, because Pinot Noir has to fail more than it succeeds. The same goes for the people who drink it. In a world that is increasingly obsessed with big wines, Pinot Noir is an anomaly: graceful, delicate and understated, it teaches you to look for nuances rather than bold statements. As Ken Kesey once wrote: “If you seek the mystery instead of the answer, you will always be seeking.” I can't think of a better way to describe Pinot Noir drinkers. City Grill will feature Pinot Noir wines on the wine list throughout the entire month of October. The wines will also be paired with complimentary dishes on the Chef’s Tasting Menu on October 19th for those who would like to experience a meal dedicated to the delights of Pinot Noirs. Those who attend both the tasting and The Chef’s Tasting Menu will receive the total package for only $75.00 all-inclusive. |
