“Pinot noir is the ultimate wine to have at the table. It’s a white wine masquerading as red…[while] Chardonnay is a red masquerading as a white.” – Kevin Zraly

History of National Pinot Noir Day

Pinot Noir Day

The origin and the person who was the first to bring up this exciting National Pinot Noir Day is unknown. However, the Pinot Noir has a very long history as the grape had been found long back. It dates back to the first century. The pine-cone-shaped clusters in the way they grow in on the vine and the dark color of the grapes had brought them such a name, Pinot Noir. Anyone will feel the taste of this wine with dedicated consumption. Pinot Noir is one among the grape variety that has been cultivated to prepare wine. Native Pinot Noir vines were available in Burgundy even before the Roman invasions during the first century AD. Also mentioned is that the Romans had coveted this Pinot Noir wine for centuries due to its delicious flavors. Pinot Noir grapes are difficult to plant, and it is even more tricky to turn into wine. The red berry profile is not only wine but it is a perfect match with any food pairings.
