Our top picks
How do you pick a good Pinot Noir?
The grape hails from Burgundy, France, but the varietal is made all around the world. It's a light- to medium-bodied wine that can have a complex structure and tannins. If you want a truly excellent pinot noir, avoid blends and look for an indication on the bottle that it's 100 percent pinot noir. You can always go for a Burgundy, which is made from pinot noir grapes, or try other countries known for it like Australia, New Zealand, California, and Oregon. Want to pair it with some delicious dishes? Try seafood like scallops or lobster, or veggie-forward dishes like roasted carrots.
