I'm starting to explore this grape varietal (in my never-ending quest for the slightly unusual wine). Recommended producers? Where is pinotage produced (besides in South Africa)?

I believe there's a couple of experimental plots in California, but I can't think who has them at the moment.
South Africa is certainly the only place it has any importance.

KWV Pinotage has interested me and it is very cheap. Great everyday interesting wine.

Well, I like your question. The South Africans believe the best Pinotage is from Kanonkop but it is worth trying all of them.
Pinotage can be light-bodied, like a
Beaujolais, all the way to dark, intense Rhone-like wines. See which style you like better.
