Santa Cruz Mountains — Pinot Country Vines scattered through fault-ridge forest either side of the range, some facing the ocean, some facing the bay, none of them flat. Martin Ray planted pinot noir here when almost nobody in California would. nanobotco.github.io/pinot-noir/region/santa-cruz-mountains/ · 16-Sep-2026 · 33K
Cold soak — Pinot Country Chilling the crushed fruit and holding it below fermentation temperature for days before the yeast start. Water pulls colour and aroma out of the skins; alcohol has not arrived yet to pull tannin. nanobotco.github.io/pinot-noir/practice/cold-soak/ · 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
Martin Ray — Pinot Country Bought Paul Masson's mountain winery in 1936, sold it during the war, and spent the rest of his life above Saratoga making pinot noir and chardonnay when California was planting neither. nanobotco.github.io/pinot-noir/person/martin-ray/ · 16-Sep-2026 · 26K
Domaine de la Romanée-Conti — Pinot Country The Vosne-Romanée domaine that owns Romanée-Conti and La Tâche outright and holds pieces of Richebourg, Échezeaux, Grands Échezeaux, Romanée-Saint-Vivant and Montrachet. nanobotco.github.io/pinot-noir/producer/drc/ · 16-Sep-2026 · 30K
Musigny — Pinot Country Ten hectares above Chambolle, the one grand cru of the Côte de Nuits that also makes a white — about two thirds of a hectare of it. nanobotco.github.io/pinot-noir/vineyard/musigny/ · 16-Sep-2026 · 28K
High-density planting — Pinot Country Nine to twelve thousand vines a hectare, rows a metre apart, each vine carrying a handful of bunches. Burgundy's grand cru rules set a floor of 9,000 vines per hectare and the New World mostly did not follow. nanobotco.github.io/pinot-noir/practice/high-density-planting/ · 16-Sep-2026 · 26K
Santa Maria Style Barbeque Association — Pinot Country The body at the Santa Maria Valley Chamber of Commerce that defines the local barbecue and certifies places serving it: beef rolled in salt, pepper and garlic, cooked on skewers over coals of red oak native to the… nanobotco.github.io/pinot-noir/org/santa-maria-bbq-association/ · 16-Sep-2026 · 34K
Cru — Pinot Country A growth: a vineyard, or a class of vineyards, recognised for what it yields. Grand cru and premier cru rank the ground in Burgundy; in Bordeaux the same word ranks the château instead. nanobotco.github.io/pinot-noir/word/cru/ · 16-Sep-2026 · 25K
Events — Pinot Country Auctions, celebrations, barrel tastings, the weekend a valley opens its doors. nanobotco.github.io/pinot-noir/events/ · 19-Sep-2026 · 25K
