Pinot Noir from Chile

Hello Wine Lovers!

You are not going to believe the wine today... a nice little approachable Pinot Noir from Chile for $8.99! Yes you see it correctly, a Pinot Noir for less than $20 that you can actually drink and talk about it!

How may of you saw the movie Sideways? If you haven't and you like wine, (why else would you be reading this blog) you should rent the movie, make a casual dinner, open up a bottle of Pinot Noir and watch Miles take you through wine country. The reason I mention the movie is since the movie came out (it was released in 2004) Pinot Noir prices have gone through the roof! It is amazing how a single movie from Hollywood can impact an entire culture of wine! Prices went through the roof, you couldn't find a room in Santa Barbara to save your life, and the once quiet little wine region became a spectacle!

Back to the wine... Quinaty is the producer and they are located between Casablanca and the Leyda Valleys in Chile. This is the coolest wine region of Chile and is primarily known for its white wines. This is a state of the art winery with exceptional values and true to the region wines. You will find fresh berries on the nose and a touch of cherry in the mouth with a nice elegant finish. The style of this wine reminds me of a Pinot from France, soft, structured, yet very balanced.

This is a classic example of the grape varietal and I highly recommend you go out and buy this today!

Cheers!
