My latest wine column published in WashingtonExec yesterday. I look at American Pinot Noir and how over the past decade a bigger style of the varietal has become popular.

A thank you to Jeff Stewart, winemaker at Hartford Court Winery for generously sharing his time and knowledge. I met up with Jeff at a recent Calvert Woodley tasting and we discussed the state of American Pinot Noir. I’ve had two Pinots from Hartford Court and enjoyed them both very much.
