I have never met a Pinot Meunier that I haven’t liked. But it is hard to meet them as not many produced as there are only 156 acres of Pinot Meunier planted in California, and 5 of those acres are non-bearing. But luckily there is some California Pinot Meunier to be found and this week I found the J Brix 2022 P.M. Daylight Pinot Meunier from the Riverbench Vineyard in Santa Maria Valley. As I said, I have yet to meet a Pinot Meunier that I haven’t liked and this one was no exception. That is why the J Brix 2022 P.M. Daylight Pinot Meunier is the Please The Palate wine of the week.
