THE THANKSGIVING WINE! Pinot Noir Virtual Wine Tasting 51

With Thanksgiving upcoming this is a perfect time to get acquainted with the wine best known for perfectly pairing with almost anything such a festive feast can entail. That being Pinot Noir. A grape with a long history, particular breeding, and one of the most finicky grapes to grow for such a vaunted prize. Listed below are the wines I have picked but if you are unable to find the specific ones the main goal should be to find substitutes from the following areas: Burgundy (France), Sonoma/Russian River (California), Williamette Valley (Oregon), Central Otago (New Zealand)

Wines:
Rabbit Ranch Pinot
Elk Cove Pinot
River Road Pinot Noir Stephanie's Russian River Valley
Au Pied Du Mont Chauve Saint Aubin Charmois Rouge

Suggested pairings: pork medallions w/cherry sauce, stuffed mushrooms, truffle mac n cheese, goat cheese w/cranberry, lamb chops, roasted duck, brussel sprouts w/bacon
