Quails' Gate Estate Winery Stewart Family Reserve Pinot Noir 2011, VQA BC, Okanagan Valley, BC, Canada: Such a lovely wine ... one for sighing over rather than describing. Medium-bodied, velvet smooth with racy black cherries that roll and caress over your tongue. Perfect for planked salmon or seafood, as well as lamb.

Belle Glos Las Alturas Vineyard Pinot Noir 2011, Santa Lucia Highlands, Monterey County, California, United States: This is New World pinot in all its juicy glory. I love this wine year after year! Sweet cherry pie and raspberry jam on the nose and palate (technically it's a dry wine but the flavours are lusciously fruity sweet). Lots of layers of pleasure and hedonism.
