Ask the Experts: What to Drink for National Wine Day

"Pinot Meunier doesn’t often make it out of Champagne, and when it does, it doesn’t often produce anything but sparkling wines. However, there are a couple of great examples of Pinot Meunier from far-flung places making some compelling arguments for giving this grape a little more love and attention. The first great example I encountered when I was reviewing Australia was at Best’s Winery in the Grampians of Victoria. Here, there are plantings of this variety that go right back to 1867, from a nursery block of original James Busby clones." - The MICHELIN Guide
