Paul Masson — Pinot Country Born in a wine village outside Beaune in 1859, arrived in California in 1878, and built a sparkling-wine business in the Santa Cruz Mountains on vines he brought from Burgundy. nanobotco.github.io/pinot-noir/person/paul-masson-person/ · 16-Sep-2026 · 25K
Salmon — Pinot Country A fish oily enough to take a red wine, and in Oregon the pairing is local logic rather than theory — the fish and the pinot come from the same watershed. nanobotco.github.io/pinot-noir/pairing/salmon/ · 16-Sep-2026 · 26K
Malolactic fermentation — Pinot Country A bacterial conversion, not a yeast one: lactic acid bacteria turn sharp malic acid into softer lactic acid and let off CO₂. Nearly every red pinot noir goes through it. nanobotco.github.io/pinot-noir/practice/malolactic/ · 16-Sep-2026 · 27K
David Lett — Pinot Country Left UC Davis in 1964 with a degree and a plan to grow pinot noir outside Burgundy, and in 1965 planted it in the Willamette Valley — against the advice of every professor he had. nanobotco.github.io/pinot-noir/person/david-lett/ · 16-Sep-2026 · 26K
Pinot Meunier — Pinot Country Pinot noir with white down on its shoot tips and leaves — meunier means miller, and the vine looks dusted with flour. It buds later, ripens earlier and survives a frosty Champagne spring that kills its parent. nanobotco.github.io/pinot-noir/variety/pinot-meunier/ · 16-Sep-2026 · 30K
Terroir — Pinot Country The claim that a wine tastes of where it grew — soil, slope, aspect, weather, and the habits of the people farming it. In France it is also a legal argument, because appellations are drawn on it. nanobotco.github.io/pinot-noir/word/terroir/ · 16-Sep-2026 · 25K
Native yeast — Pinot Country Letting whatever came in on the fruit and lives in the cellar start the ferment, instead of pitching a selected strain from a packet. nanobotco.github.io/pinot-noir/practice/native-yeast/ · 16-Sep-2026 · 26K
Pinot Droit — Pinot Country Upright-growing, high-cropping selections that suited a grower paid by weight. California sold a series of them under the misnomer 'Gamay Beaujolais', and Burgundy planted them in ground where nobody was looking. nanobotco.github.io/pinot-noir/clone/pinot-droit/ · 16-Sep-2026 · 26K
AVA — Pinot Country American Viticultural Area: a boundary drawn around ground with a name, established by federal rule in 27 CFR part 9. It says where the grapes grew and nothing at all about how good they were. nanobotco.github.io/pinot-noir/word/ava/ · 16-Sep-2026 · 27K
