97' Pepperwood Grove Pinot Noir

[Drew]

I normally don't care for Pepperwood Grove wines but I stumbled into my fav. wine store this afternoon and asked the owner to suggest a value Pinot Noir as we were having homemade mixed bean soup w/ham from "Heavenly Ham" (a chain of stores that specialize in nice ham), left over salad with the Stilton and Balsamic Vinegar bit and Italian bread from my favorite bakery. This Pinot was GREAT! $5.99 dark, rich, good acidity plus a little pepper on a moderate finish. The wife drank more than her 1/2 bottle share.
