In writing this, I'm perplexed for words. What must I say about Pinot Noir that hasn't been said? It all seems cliche.

Storytime with David
The truest thing I can say is that this tasting actually
excites me. It is a sad reality that once you make your passion your
profession, some of the love goes away. I find myself creating Tasting
Themes out of obligation, rather than inspiration. But Pinot Noir is
different. Pinot Noir continues to entice me and it continues to teach
me. Even the wines I know and love evolve and taste different from one
month to the next.
And, in retrospect, my most formative wine experiences are
tied to Pinot Noir. I remember working at a restaurant called Fora in
Naples. A customer shared a glass of wine with me. It was so intriguing
and intellectual that I took the empty bottle home with me that night
and saved the label. Years later I stumbled across that label. It was a
2000 vintage Domaine Romanee-Conti Echezeaux.
A year later I was working for Morry's of Naples, a co-worker
handed me a glass of wine to taste blindly. It was murky, cloudy, and
every sniff smelled completely different from the previous. Each sip
pulsed with different flavors and textures. It was almost not even like
wine. It was just a better beverage. My co-worker held the cork up to
my view. It read "Sine Qua Non." Indispensable thing, indeed.
Don't miss a potentially life-altering experience this weekend.
