This evening we asked Leonard Cohen, the owner of the new Ciopinot restaurant in San Luis Obispo, for his recommendation of a pinot noir that was outstanding from among their already extraordinary offerings of pinot noirs. Without hesitation, he said he had just the thing. But one stipulation – that he must be allowed to have a glass as well. Something that good could not be passed up. Please understand that we had already sampled some fine pinots that they are now offing “by the glass” and had determined each of our own “favorite”. New glasses, and at first sniff, we all smiled with delight. This was a wine to be savored. And the taste did not disappoint. Quite different from what we had been drinking. But still, put all the others to shame. A truly memorable vintage.
