Wine

CONTINUES FROM PAGE E7 near the Pacific Ocean, this particular part of California consistently produces earthy, elegant pinot noirs with a hint of ocean air. This outstanding wine has hints of red licorice and spice straight out of the bottle. A few minutes later, those flavors become softer and lighter. Best of all, this wine tastes great the next day and the day after. Way to go, North America!

South America

2021 Natura Pinot Noir ($11.99 at Table & Vine): Let’s head south now to Chile to taste this delightful, delicate pinot noir. Made with organic grapes, I wasn’t sure if I liked this South American pinot noir at first. Part of it had to do with tasting it right after the first one described above. The Sonoma County pinot noir power overshadowed this lighterthan-air pinot. But once I had time to adjust to this wine, I was charmed by its soft, gentle, understated flavors, which include hints of cherry and cotton candy. The next day, the wine’s even smoother and more delicate. But

Trinity United Methodist Church: Photography of Drew Babineau of don’t wait to finish this bottle. Two days after I first opened it, all subtle flavors vanished into thin air. But overall, great job, South America!

Africa

2021 Doolhof Dark Lady Of The Labyrinth Pinotage ($16.99 at Table & Vine): As I explained briefly above, this wine isn’t a pinot noir, but it’s close. Instead, this powerful wine from South Africa is made with pinotage grapes, which are a combination of pinot noir and cinsault. Again, it’s not an apples-to-apples comparison, but it’s pretty close. And if you love big, powerful, intense wines, this is the one for you. Flinty and earthy with hints of black cherry and plum, this wine packs a punch that lasts for days after you open the bottle. Amazing, Africa!

Australia

2020 Oyster Bay Pinot Noir ($14.99 at Table & Vine): Let’s set sail now for the continent of Australia and the country of New Zealand. Best known wine-wise for its sauvignon blancs, its pinot noirs are a thing of beauty and wonderfully express the cool, ocean air from the Marlborough
