Pinehurst Wine and Food Festival, Labor Day Weekend

[wondersofwine]

I was forgetting about the Brachetto with chocolate combination which I have championed before and as I recall, the Pineta Brachetto is less sweet than the Rosa Regale from Banfi.

I chose Country Vintner for the Sauternes with foie gras and the Alysian Pinot Noir (Gary Farrell's new winery.) Sanford & Benedict Pinot Noir tempted me from Empire along with the sparkling wine from the Loire. (I have had Bonaccorsi Sanford & Benedict Pinot Noir but not the winery's own production.) Glad to hear you like the Pierre Moncuit Champagne as I am not familiar with it but see that it's received some nice reviews on CellarTracker.
