Taste Along w/ Adam the Wine Guy # 29 - Dow

..so, i know when you think of portugal , you think of port..and when you think of Dow, you think of port, but, now's the time to shift your paradigm...thats right, Dow is making wine..red wine that is..and a good bang for the buck too..and such a crazy mix of grape varietals, its quite a leap from those overly extracted fruit bombs, not too challenging for a novice, and enough going on for any mavin..

the 2006, Dow, Valle de Bomfim

Taste Along w/ Adam the Wine Guy # 27 - Diamond Oaks

..decent inexpensive Pinot Noir's are pretty hard to come by..they either are a bit thin, or super fruity..and to find one on the cheap is pretty hard, knowing how fickle that grape varietal can be.. a couple of reasons pinot seems to be bit more expensive are that 1. the grape is difficult to grow, it requires ideal conditions, which include soil as well..and Carneros is one of those great pinot places.. 2. the big wine movie few years ago, put the prices for pinot noir into a tailspin, (which by the way, also, had huge effects in the slump in merlot sales),and all of the sudden everyone wants to be drinking pinot noir living out their wine fantasies..pinot is always a crowd pleaser, and appeals to a wide range of palates..for the novice, it is usually not to aggressive, and makes for an approachable point in which to enter the wild world of red wine..and for the expert, nothing like the ever-unfolding french varieties, from burgandy, with complexity that is unparalleled..and, its soo food friendly, you can even pair it up with that thanksgiving feast..and in my opionion a fantastic match with salmon..had any good recent pinot experiences??
