STG Pinot Noir

[Innkeeper]

1996 STG (Domaine Saint George), Santa Barbara County, Pinot Noir; $8.00, 2/$15.00. A very decent pinot. Had it with leftover roast pork tonight, and it was delightful. Ample fruit on the nose and tongue. Nicely balanced through the palate, and a sweet finish. For under $10 have not heard of a better one other than possibly the Pepperwood Grove that Drew posted at end of last year. At any rate, it's great, and there are at least two Best Buys of pinot under ten.
