In Reply to: RE: Inexpensive pinot noir... posted by mkuller on April 23, 2014 at 22:01:22
I've always been reluctant to buy Pinot Noir, because my experience is that a person has to spend a good chunk of money to get something drinkable, and I'm morally and ethically opposed to spending large amounts of money to buy what amounts to about a quart of fermented grape juice. Having been to Beaune and Aloxe-Corton, I've seen part of the soft white underbelly of the Burgundy wine biz. I'll pay 'em US $30 a bottle, tops, for their best. The notion of paying $50 and up for 750 ml of grape juice is for wealthy snobs and aspiring snobs.
Check out the Clos du Bois 2011 Pinot Noir. Very nice, flavorful wine. Had it with beef ribs last week, and it was great.

...a couple more you might try are Acacia and A to Z, both good for the money.
It's like anything you develop a passion about and an appreciation for the subtleties others don't recognize.
If you love to drive, you may want an expensive Porsche.
If you love music you may want to spend a lot on a stereo system.
But like both of those and wine there are diminishing returns as you spend more and lower priced options that give you a lot of bang for the buck.
you should give Siduri a try. They're Sonoma Coast, Russian River and Sonoma County are around $30 and quite good year in and year out.
