<p>I have had bad luck with inexpensive Pinots. My plan is to wait to get into Pinots till DD has graduated college :)</p>
<p>edit: "Erath Pinot Noir 2008 - not so good it feels watery and not as flavorful as some others we’ve tried. For $13 (Costco) we expected much better. "</p>
<p>This is what I meant. I think for a Pinot, you need to look north of $15. If you know of good Pinots for less, do tell.</p>
