I guess it's the definition of very good that's in question. Yes there are many well made pinots available. Research and science has helped immensely in the last 20 years.

But very good? Most of them are god awful boring. I'm not saying that cost and quality are always commensurate, but with Pinot especially, I just don't see many bargains. When I open a bottle of Pinot (or Syrah for that matter) I want a wine that I will baby for the evening....one that will reveal layers as it sits on the table. One that tells me where the fruit came from, what kind of summer they had, how they were fermented. Its damn hard to find that under $45.

And although a democrat, I'm no snob. I own a winery....I am, like most other small winery owners that didn't make a fortune in their first career...BROKE! But happy.
