Pigeage — Pinot Country Punching the cap down into the wine. The old tool is a plunger; the old method is bare legs. nanobotco.github.io/pinot-noir/word/pigeage-term/ · 16-Sep-2026 · 25K
Dijon 667 — Pinot Country The third of the trio that travelled: mid-weight, spicy, and useful for filling the gap between 115's perfume and 777's colour. nanobotco.github.io/pinot-noir/clone/dijon-667/ · 16-Sep-2026 · 25K
Spätburgunder — Pinot Country German for pinot noir, and a name that carries an argument: 'late Burgundian', against the früh — early — one that ripens weeks sooner. nanobotco.github.io/pinot-noir/word/spatburgunder/ · 16-Sep-2026 · 26K
Washed-rind cheese — Pinot Country Époisses, Soumaintrain, Langres — Burgundy's own cheeses, washed in brine and marc until they smell like a farmyard and taste milder than they smell. nanobotco.github.io/pinot-noir/pairing/washed-rind-cheese/ · 16-Sep-2026 · 25K

Sta. Rita Hills — Pinot Country A wind tunnel between Buellton and Lompoc where the Santa Ynez Valley opens west to the ocean. Fog in the morning, thirty-knot afternoons, and some of the slowest ripening in California. nanobotco.github.io/pinot-noir/region/sta-rita-hills/ · 16-Sep-2026 · 34K
André Tchelistcheff — Pinot Country Russian-born, Paris-trained, and the winemaker most often credited with teaching post-Prohibition California what a cellar is for. He is remembered for cabernet, and he also argued for cold ground — Carneros among it. nanobotco.github.io/pinot-noir/person/andre-tchelistcheff/ · 16-Sep-2026 · 26K
Brix — Pinot Country Sugar in the juice, as a percentage by weight. Pickers read it off a refractometer in the row, and it is the number most arguments about picking dates are conducted in — usually alongside acid and pH, which matter as… nanobotco.github.io/pinot-noir/word/brix/ · 16-Sep-2026 · 25K
Lalou Bize-Leroy — Pinot Country Took over her father's négociant house in 1955, co-managed the Domaine de la Romanée-Conti from 1974, and built Domaine Leroy and Domaine d'Auvenay into biodynamic estates with famously small crops. nanobotco.github.io/pinot-noir/person/lalou-bize-leroy/ · 16-Sep-2026 · 26K
Brett — Pinot Country Brettanomyces, a yeast that lives in old barrels and makes phenols people describe as barnyard, plaster or clove. nanobotco.github.io/pinot-noir/word/wine-fault-brett/ · 16-Sep-2026 · 26K
