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
Russian River Valley — Pinot Country Fog runs up the river gap from the Pacific most summer nights and sits until mid-morning. Sonoma planted pinot noir into that fog and the plantings tripled in a decade. nanobotco.github.io/pinot-noir/region/russian-river-valley/ · 16-Sep-2026 · 30K
Red oak — Pinot Country The wood the whole style rests on. In Santa Maria, red oak means coast live oak — Quercus agrifolia — which grows on the hills around the valley and burns down to hot, steady coals without throwing much smoke. nanobotco.github.io/pinot-noir/pairing/red-oak/ · 16-Sep-2026 · 28K
Lieu-dit — Pinot Country A named place on the cadastral map — the official French term for a piece of ground people call something. Every climat is a lieu-dit; not every lieu-dit carries a cru rank. nanobotco.github.io/pinot-noir/word/lieu-dit/ · 16-Sep-2026 · 25K
Richard Sanford — Pinot Country Read weather data instead of real-estate listings, worked out that the Santa Ynez Valley runs east-west and lets the ocean in, and planted pinot noir at Sanford & Benedict in 1971. nanobotco.github.io/pinot-noir/person/richard-sanford/ · 16-Sep-2026 · 26K
Corton — Pinot Country The hill above Aloxe, and Burgundy's largest grand cru: 95 hectares in production, nearly all of it red, and the only red grand cru on the Côte de Beaune. nanobotco.github.io/pinot-noir/vineyard/corton/ · 16-Sep-2026 · 29K
Bob Schutz — Pinot Country A Santa Maria market manager who, in the late 1950s, took a triangular piece of bottom sirloin that was going into the hamburger grinder, seasoned it and put it on a rotisserie. nanobotco.github.io/pinot-noir/person/bob-schutz/ · 16-Sep-2026 · 26K
Sonoma Coast — Pinot Country An AVA big enough to be an argument: it runs from the Pacific bluffs inland across most of the county. nanobotco.github.io/pinot-noir/region/sonoma-coast/ · 16-Sep-2026 · 34K
Santa Maria salsa — Pinot Country Chopped raw tomato, celery, green chilli, onion and a shot of vinegar or Worcestershire — thinner and sharper than a Mexican pico de gallo, and spooned over sliced beef rather than eaten with chips. nanobotco.github.io/pinot-noir/pairing/santa-maria-salsa/ · 16-Sep-2026 · 27K
Ahr — Pinot Country A narrow slate valley south of Bonn, among the smallest German regions and the one that gives more of its ground to spätburgunder than any other. nanobotco.github.io/pinot-noir/region/ahr/ · 16-Sep-2026 · 28K
