WBW#14 Roundup Has Been Posted

What do you drink when you have to drink Pinot Noir but it can't be from France or the West Coast of the United States? Turns out there are a lot of options. The recap of this month's Wine Blogging Wednesday was posted yesterday by the host of the event, Jens at The Cincinnati Wine Garage. His roundup of the Web's favorite monthly virtual wine tasting event highlights around 35 reviews of New World Pinot Noir from places like Slovenia, New Zealand, New York State, Spain, Chile, New Mexico, Canada, and Australia. It's a great set of wines and looks like there were some excellent ones in the mix. Check out the list.

thanks for the links! It's very interesting for a winemaker in the South of France like me, to see a bit, what is done in other parts on the world. The French consider, that even Pinot Noir in The south of their country is already "exotic", but most of them don't probably have the slightest idea of how wide spread it is in the meantime all around the world - and as a german proverb says: "other mothers may also have nice daughters" :-)))

Iris, a Parisian friend tells me that French wine consumers know much less about wine,in general, than Americans do. Aside from habit or laziness, he believes it's due to the American (and New World overall) custom of emphasizing grape varieties, and the French DOC laws and labeling conventions.

Does this seem like an accurate assessment to you?
