When it comes to my family’s table, a pinot is usually present and accounted for. It’s a flexible, agreeable red wine that pairs with a great many foods. Your proverbial ‘ace in the hole’ to have during the holidays…
Wine Manager Will Bliss at the H-E-B Westlake in Austin shares 3 of his picks for pinot noir available now!
Martin Ray Pinot Noir
$15.98
An excellent Sonoma pinot. Lighter in body and would pair very well with something like pork or lamb chops.
Lyric Pinot Noir
$24.98
Etude is a fantastic producer out of Santa Barbara. Lyric by Etude is a juicy entry level pinot; full-bodied with nice acidity and flavors of dark cherry and vanilla. Great with any kind of red meat, even lighter stuff like chicken. 🙂
Guarachi Pinot Noir
$64.99
Guarachi Family Wines produce this dense pinot that’s made for a buttery roasted turkey, or perhaps a hearty steak. Well-balanced with lots of fruit up front and a slightly elevated alcohol at around 14%.
