Wining and Dining in Charlotte, NC

This is just a quick post to recommend a delicious wine that I tried last night. I was at the Savannah Red Wine Bar, which is tucked inside the City Center Marriott in downtown Charlotte, NC, and their wine list is impressive to say the least. I had the Delta Pinot Noir from Marlborough, New Zealand, and it was one of the post enjoyable pinots that I've had a in a long time. It was fruity and light, yet very complex which really is what makes pinot noir such a fabulous grape. Plus the wine bar was a fun place to try wines - the staff are very knowledgable, quick to offer a taste if you express curiousity about a wine, and really go that extra mile. We witnessed them saving a wine label for a customer at a nearby table, and the manager demonstrated a nifty trick about how to get a wine cork out of the bottle! That was impressive, but the most impressive part was watching by co-worker and drinking buddy, Jayce, master the trick on his first try!
