Three Reds and a White

Wednesday, October 21st, 2009

Gruet Brut Blanc de Noir New Mexico NV:

Color: lovely light honey, vanilla Aromas & Flavors:  Vanilla, hazelnut, pear and a toasty spice

Opinion: For the price (~$15), this was a wonderful match with our southwest chicken kiev dish accompanied by Mexican corn, accented with Hatch, New Mexico roasted chilis and Jalapeno and Cheddar tortillas.  The wine is readily available in Tucson and maintains my well opined theme of food and wine regionality.  As with most of the Sparkling Wines, I would consume them within a short period of time.

Pinot Noir in Tucson

Tuesday, September 29th, 2009

When I began my trek around Tucson, searching for Pinot Noir at various locations, I was prepared not to find much interesting under the $45 mark.  To my surprise, pleasantly enough, I discovered a small collection of wines under that threshold and in fact, a few in the $20’s and several in the $30’s.

To simplify the inventory and search process, I have decided to stratify the price levels and offer a condensed list of quality wines both under and above the $45 range.  While the list may seem rather lengthy to be considered condensed, it was culled from a much larger inventory of Tucson accessible Pinot Noir.  Unless otherwise stated, the prices represent an average of those retailers listed if the differences are small (less than a few dollars).  When there are large pricing discrepancies, I will highlight the pricing of each retailer.  Good luck in your search and if you have some alternative Pinot Noir suggestions, by all means share them with us on our Community Forum.  Just register, log in and you’re ready to go.
