My journey is complete. After many emails, printing of tasting note sheets, receiving deliveries of BC Pinot Noir, writing tasting notes, locating BC Pinot Noir vineyards, correlating BC Pinot Noir wines with soil and with latitude using a GIS, and making a cool interactive BC Pinot Noir map is complete.
But maybe it is also the start of a new journey. With the knowledge gained about unique aromas and flavours of the Pinot Noir grape in BC, wineries and vineyard operators may want to tailor where they plant their new Pinot Noir vines. Or testing my results from the 2013 and 2014 vintages against future vintages, whether hotter or cooler. I am happy to work with wineries and vineyards to help answer these questions about the heart-break grape. I am extremely grateful for all the BC wineries that offered their Pinot Noirs for me to taste, analyze, and map, to help us all know a bit more about our terroir.
If you would like to catch up on my journey that started late Spring and ended late Fall, please enjoy reading the following articles. Cheers.
