Steele Pinot Noir

Stupid camera phone. Probably need to either get a phone that was made sometime this century, or start carrying a real camera around. The Steele website (www.steelewines.com) tells me they make several types of Pinot. My best guess is that I had the 2007 Carneros, but I can't be completely sure.

What I can be sure of is that after 45 minutes of traffic and arriving half an hour late for dinner with my sisters, this could not possibly have hit the spot more than it did. The Thai food we combined it with might have been a slightly non-traditional pairing, but it worked for me!

This is the second time I've had this wine, and I loved it both times. The only negative is the price. At nearly $20 it's not breaking the bank, but with so many good wines closer to $10, it's hard to justify…unless…someone else brings it to dinner!! (my sisters rock :-)
