Pinot Noir: The Ethereal Noble Grape of Burgundy and Beyond!

EAST SETAUKET, N.Y. - EntSun -- When wine lovers speak with reverence, it's often about Pinot Noir. The grape is fickle, thin-skinned, and difficult to grow — but when coaxed into greatness, it produces some of the world's most elegant and complex wines.
