42 degrees south pinot noir 2014

What to buy at the bottlo? 

You can pick this bottle up for $23 at Dan Murphy's or $18.99 at wineonline.com.  It's a pretty good pinot.  Nothing too fruity or chemically.  It's average in alcohol at 13.5% vol and you don't taste even a hint of it.   

I had this with a fig pizza,  and it was light enough to be complimentary to the gentle boccinci cheese.  

Get this to take to a party if you don't want a hangover the following day,  but want a nice wine.  This comes into its own when sharing with friends.  It's non offensive in every way and it is a nice glass to share! .  

   

Philip Shaw No. 8 Pinot Noir 2012

It definitely says no. 8...

RRP: $40.00

Not your normal pinot noir. No.8 lingers on the tongue and packs an exquisite fruit punch that you don't expect with a pinot. The honey gold tinge belies the strawberry and cherry taste and hints at the gentle oak that plays in the background.

Enjoy this by itself or with some salmon and cream cheese.  I reckon it goes nicely with a bit of galaxy chocolate, but others disagreed.

Lastly, this gets my vote for its beautiful label.  Definitely one to have in your label collection.

Stunning label art
