New Zealand Pinot.

I love the Tim Calhoun SNL reference.

QOTD: Mt. Difficulty Roaring Meg Pinot Noir from New Zealand. Would like to try the Germans, though.

I want the GREEN!!!…wristband that is

QoTD: Never had a Pinot from Germany! I WILL NOW!

Had to laugh with the lurker comment, that is definitely me. I’ll try to leave more. Love Pinot’s, outside of the regions you mentioned, I would have to say I am a fan of New Zealand Pinot’s.

QOTD: Pinot noir 2006 Achs Paul Austria

Oh-burr-rot-vile……Oh-burr-burr-g’n…..Yo-nerr…. (you got that one right! 🙂 )

Good show, interesting, informative, unusual.

QOTD – Concha y Toro Explorer 2005 Pinot Noir, Casablanca Valley, Chile.

I’ll leave a comment, as it is the Vayniac way. Oh heck I nearly always leave a comment.
QOTD: I had a German Pinot Noir earlier this year which I enjoyed, the (OMG so many letters) Spatburgunder Rheingau Assmanns Hauser Hollenburg August Kesseler 2001.

You are very knowledgeable, but when you describe the first wine as tootsie roll meets tobacco and cherry cola, etc, I feel that you are over complicating things.. In my opinion, those are just the many ways to describe “too much oak”….

QOTD: The best NON North-American nor French Pinot Noir I think I have had was indeed German and from the Pfalz produced by probably one of the best Pinot Noir producers in Germany – Weingut Knipser..

Okay, okay, here is a comment. You’re totally right. For watching an episode, writing a comment in not too much to ask. The job is just a lot of fun and work recently, so I couldn’t get around to watch all of your episodes, lately. Sorry 😉

QOTD: Uh, I can’t remember. But I’m from Germany (living in London now) and had lot’s of german wines. I bet including a few pinots.

Cool show. I’ve had one German Pinot Noir. It was…interesting.

QOD – Best PN I’ve had outside of France and the US was from Italy. Tasty stuff! And very Italian.

German pinots can provide some really good values for a wine that can be very costly (and not very good). I work at a 2 star restaurant in NYC and we have had a german pinot (actually the regular Oberbergen) by the glass for at least 6 months. I try to change it, and people go nuts. Very drinkable, slightly earthy with crushed/masserated strawberry.

I simply can’t believe you were at a loss for words at the start of the show! So weird….

QOTD: 2006 Montes Pinot Noir from Chile. It was great with the duck we ate. Yummy.

Q – Not a huge pinot fan, but had some nice ones from NZ.

My goal is to be able to answer your QOTD some day…

Cavit, Italy, fairly lean but I actually enjoyed it.

Talking about new experience – from unknown areas. Try out some of the Germay Dornfelder from Badem Wurtemberg, or Zweigeldt from Burgenland Austria. Or even more excotic some Plavac from Croatia, and now I’am looking forward to the 18.th. of Nov. trying out the Vranacs of Montenegro, the real father of the Napa Zinfandeler. Its a great wineworld out there.

Not the best I’ve had, but very good. Meerlust Pinot Noir (Stellenbosch) late 90’s I think. Was also pretty cheap (at least at the time).

Just back from a LONG vacation in the Caribbean and trying to catch up – very nice show. When I was in Bonn on business a couple of years ago, our hosts took us to a wine tasting of German wines that included several Pinot Noirs and many of them were quite good. Alas, I did not take any notes so I cannot tell you what they were.

QOTD: I’m afraid you predicted this one – Amisfield Pinot Noir from New Zealand (Central Otego).

Awesome show- I’m in for any German Pinot I see next time out! QOTD: Seresin in NZ- that place kills. GV- GET shipping to RI again!!!! (please…)

I recently had a great Spätburgunder “Blauer Spätburgunder QbA trocken” from Knipser in the Pfalz, Germany. The German Pinot Noir’s are coming.

Nice to see my German blood make a good wine other than a reisling! QOTD: Never had one outside the US or France.

My mother is from the Baden region! Everything tastes good there.

Gary – I have always found wines to change as they develop in the glass. You open them and bottle air but they don’t get a second chance, just 5 seconds of swirling, maybe a second swish and its done. Do you feel that opening up in the glass is more than it is racked up to be?

My best Pinot Noir or even one of the best Wines I have had was a 1995 HEGER Spätburgunder*** .

Have not had these Pinot’s before, never had one from Germany. QOTD-maybe from New Zealand… http://www.winelx.com
