Ninth Isand, Bought it in Sainsbury, england last week £10. Nice. It’s from a winery called Pipers brook. They make a prestige label Pinot called Pelllion Worth a try.

The Waipara Springs is available in Galway in Thomas Woodberry’s. I’ve had it from there, and I have to agree: very good Pinot. They also sell a lovely Pinot from Tasmania called Ninth Island.

Love the blog. Try also Tesco finest Marlborough Pinot Noir at €12.99. Good wine. Silky, Strawberry, lightly gamey with nice zingy acid finish

Big L,

Fenster’s hot tip: Palatia Pinot Noir from Marks and Spencer..
Cunningly marketed to look like it comes from somewhere random in Italy, careful reading of the back label reveals that this sexy stuff is from Pfalz. Savagely good value at 12.99. Fairly light, but very pinot for the snot. Currently an hilarious 7.99 stg up North though!
