I'm really starting to believe that price counts when it comes to Pinot Noir. A few nights ago we tried a $10 Pinot that was so marginal that I couldn't write about it. I decided to step it up with this one at $14, but I was still bored. I love the name. Every time I read it that old Stones tune starts going though my head -"I'm just trying to do this Jigsaw puzzle, before it rains any more....." We have this with some fried tilapia and a Spanish rice/bean/tomato dish I experimented with. We like the food, but just found the wine a bit boring and for a Saturday night it went down pretty slowly. This reminds me, next time I'm looking for a Pinto I'll go for the Chalone Vineyards. Don't look for the Jigsaw Puzzle. And if I will channel John McCain for a moment, and say, "my friend(s)" that is 6 wine reviews in 9 days! Not bad. I vowed to do 10 in 10 days - I'm not sure I can do 4 tomorrow - especially since it is Monday:)
