Pinotnoir

Pinot Noir (pea-no NWARH):

A fragile red grape that is difficult to grow. Most of all the burgandy wines from France are made from the Pinot Noir grape.

Great Pinot Noir creates a lasting impression on the palate and in the memory. Its aroma is often accented by a pronounced spiciness that suggests cinnamon, sassafras, or mint. It is full-bodied and rich but not heavy, high in alcohol, yet neither acidic nor tannic, with substantial flavor despite its delicacy. The most appealing quality of Pinot Noir may be its soft, velvety texture. When right, it is like liquid silk.

Well, this is an introduction, describing myself , for the souls that hopefully bless this blog with their presence, thoughts and comments.

Yes folks, I’m as original as they get. Fragile and delicate, yet strong and stubborn, or “difficult to grow.”

I can make quite a lasting impression by being sweet with a little touch of “spiciness.”

I can be qute “heavy” and demanding of others, yet “delicate” and as the last line of the definition states, “when treated right it is like liquid silk.”

I hope you can visit this blog for the latest in fine dining, culture, wine, music and my ever present random rants and raves.  I also hope we can be enlightening, encouraging and respectful to eachother in the process.

I hope this blog will be an escape for you as much as it will be for me, and that you may find it as pleasing as “liquid silk.”
