Maya: „You know, can I ask you a personal question, Miles?“
Miles Raymond: „Sure.“
Maya: „Why are you so in to Pinot?“
Miles Raymond: [laughs softly]
Maya: „I mean, it's like a thing with you“.
Miles Raymond: [continues laughing softly]
Miles Raymond: „Uh, I don't know, I don't know. Um, it's a hard grape to grow, as you know. Right? It's uh, it's thin-skinned, temperamental, ripens early. It's, you know, it's not a survivor like Cabernet, which can just grow anywhere and uh, thrive even when it's neglected. No, Pinot needs constant care and attention. You know? And in fact it can only grow in these really specific, little, tucked away corners of the world. And, and only the most patient and nurturing of growers can do it, really. Only somebody who really takes the time to understand Pinot's potential can then coax it into its fullest expression. Then, I mean, oh its flavors, they're just the most haunting and brilliant and thrilling and subtle and... ancient on the planet.“

„To give you some background, Germany is now the world’s third biggest producer of Pinot Noir, with a vineyard area of 12,000 hectares in 2006. It grows more of this variety than Australia, New Zealand and Austria combined. While Riesling is still far and away the most widely planted grape variety in Germany (c 21,000 ha or nearly 21% of the total vineyard area), Spätburgunder is advancing rapidly and now has 11.6% of the total, up from 7.7% in 1999 and 3.6% in 1970. However, most of the wine is consumed within Germany, so these figures may come as something of a surprise to many consumers. Baden, the most southerly and therefore generally the warmest German wine region, is the dominant player. In 2005 it had 5,800 ha, ie nearly half the total, but there are also (relatively) substantial plantings in the Pfalz (1,600 ha), Rheinhessen (1,300 ha) and Württemberg (1,200 ha). The Rheingau had only 395 ha, the Ahr 335 ha. Franken has some, but not enough to be included in the German Wine Institute’s overview of important varieties by region.“
Sept. 12, 2007:
Spätburgunder and Burgundy compared
„Of the six German wines, I gave only one wine less than 17. Of the eight burgundies, four scored lower than 17.“
„The biggest surprise of all was that my favourite and most highly rated wine was a Spätburgunder.“

February 02, 2008: Pinot Noir Shortage in the US
„Despite California growers’ best efforts to supply Pinot Noir, the hottest variety in the US currently, the total amount produced in California in 2007 was 16%, of more than 14.5 millions bottles’ worth, less than in 2006. The shortfall is most acute in the most desirable appellations, both in Santa Barbara County and, especially, in Sonoma County where the crop was down nearly 24%.“
