Pinotage US

I was saddened to learn today that Paul Kemp from @LomaPrietaWine has passed. Paul was more than just a maverick of the wine world he was a caring and generous man. I drink tonight one of his wonderful award winning Pinotage wine in his honor and memory. Rest in Peace Paul.

Still more rain, so eating indoors and enjoying this #california #pinotage A lot of times pinotage gets a bad rap, but like any variety, if it is made well it can be great. Not many choices here in the US (this one from Loma Prieta Winery is very good) b… ift.tt/2kHc7mA

Sometimes a Tuesday night calls for a 26 year old of South Africa's finest. This 1992 @KanonkopEstate Paul Sauer has held up very well.

Wrapping Christmas gifts and enjoying a very nice @fortrosswinery #Pinotage from 2007. #CaliforniaWine #PinotageUS

Make #BlackFriday a #RedFriday with a glass or two of #Pinotage. Cheers!

Game 3 of the #WorldSeries calls for a bold yet smooth Oregon #Pinotage from @ChateauLorane

No longer being made I believe this #Pinotage from @OdetteEstate was the only Pinotage planted in Napa.

Counting down to #PinotageDay with a great California grown #Pinotage from @LomaPrietaWine. This won 2014 Best Red from @AmericanWineSoc.

The @wineonaplatter collection continues to grow with the addition of the 1986-1991 editions. Now just 1981-1984 to track down.

Never a truer word spoken! @PinotageSA @PinotageBot @PinotageUS @gnperold @PieterPinotage #pinobiltongfest 14 & 15 Oct at @leribahotel GP

A warm summer evening calls for a great California Pinotage from Tanis Vineyard.

This @SierraRidgeWine Pinotage from 2011 is another example from great American Pinotage from California.

@PinotageSA @Absa Ever think about inviting an American to be part of the Pinotage judging team? #AbsaPinotageTop10 #PinotageIsInternational

This @wineonaplatter 5-Star @RustenbergWines Peter Barlow from 1999 is very nice. Lots of fruit on the nose and pallete. Nice smooth finish.

One of the finest Pinotage wines in all of South Africa from two of the nicest people I had the pleasure of meeting. #Pinotage #WalkerBay

From the first whiff to the smooth finish this @DomenicoWinery Pinotage from 2007 is singing tonight. #Pinotage #Amador

Back to Oregon tonight for the 2010 @MelroseWine Pinotage from the Umpqua Valley.

Always a good day when the @LomaPrietaWine Pinotage Club shipment arrives. #OnlyUSPinotageClub #Lodi #Pinotage #Amorosa

The US is producing some great #Pinotage wines. This @HortonWine from 2008 is a stunning example from Virginia.

@vespadave Pinotage is NOT a hybrid. It is a cross as both Pinot Noir and Cinsault are in the vitis vinifera species.
