Pinot Noir & health

[knbetts]

I was watching the Science Channel a week or two ago and there was a story about Pinot Noir. It said that it actually reduces the risk of cancer by 50% or some crazy number. Of course, I cant find the website now... I should have written it down. I do know that they said Pinot Noir specifically is the best wine for the job. I really enjoy wine, although my taste is usually in the "cheap" wines. I love Lumbrusco (sp?) and it is pretty darn cheap. I am not saying that I need a cheap wine, just that after I taste the more expensive stuff I still prefer Lumbrusco. Can anyone tell me what tastes I can expect from Pinot Noir and what the best wine would be to try. Of course, you can probably tell that I love light, sweet wines. Thanks for your help.
