 [Corkd.com] Cork'd - Alma Rosa Pinot Noir La Encantada Vineyard 2004: If you like this wine, you might also like these highly rated Pinot Noir wines from Santa Rita Hills, California:

[Thewino.net] TheWino.net: Pinot Noir (Burgundy): I recommend their Pinots, the Jeanne Marie Cuvee (in particular the '01), Foothills Reserve and the Cabernet Franc (a rare varietal on its own). I would say nothing disappointed but I personally didn't love their whites - the Chardonnay or Chenin Blanc but then again that's me I generally prefer the heartier reds. 

[Professorbainbridgeonwine.com] Professor Bainbridge on Wine: California-Pinot Noir: The nose is a little muted, but offers a suggestion of vanilla and berries, and likely will develop with a bit of bottle age. On the palate, the Saintsbury is a relatively lightweight wine but nevertheless offers crisp and clean flavors of cherry and wild berry, with a herbal note on the finish.

 [oenoLogic] TN: Bugey Bay: Bottex Bugey-Cerdon “La Cueille” (Ain) - The usual slightly off-dry raspberry froth, with a slightly bitter and hollow edge that’s definitely not usual for this wine. (8/06)

 [walk the wine] Perfect Match?: I got to thinking about all of this while trying to decide what wine to have with lamb chops on the grill last night. I have always had a special fondness for Beaucastel chateauneuf-du-pape with lamb chops, but I have found several other combinations much to my liking as well, like a spicy, earthy cab (as opposed to the fruit bomb variety) or any of the peppery southern Rhone reds.

[Grape Juice] Friday Night Flights #1: Pinot Blanc: Based in Canada’s Okanagan Valley, one of the premier wine regions in British Columbia, Nk’Mip makes for an interesting story. The first aboriginally owned and operated vineyard in North America when it opened its doors back in 2002, it was launched as a joint venture between wine goliath Vincor International and a local Osoyoos Indian Band.
