In Memorium

About the Prince (Rusty Gaffney, MD)

I have a passion for good Pinot Noir – California, Oregon, Burgundy, or wherever it may turn up.I drink good Pinot daily, I read about Pinot daily through all the available sources on wine, and I visit Pinot-producing wine areas of the world regularly. I don’t give numerical scores on Pinot – just some helpful comments. Like good sex, good Pinot is totally sensual and not numerical (was your last romantic encounter a 91 or 92/100?). Finding good Pinot is a daunting task that requires patience, persistence, and money. Often less than 500 cases of a Pinot are available for the world. I hope that this newsletter allows you to score a few choice bottles for your cellar.
