Pinot, Everywhere — A BQS Wine Lunch with Duane Roy
Some grapes behave. Pinot doesn’t.
Thin-skinned, temperamental and endlessly expressive, Pinot Noir is often seen as the holy grail of winemaking — capable of producing wines of extraordinary nuance, but only when everything aligns. And even then, it rarely shows the same face twice.
In Burgundy, it whispers of earth and autumn. In Central Otago, it’s vivid and fruit-driven. Oregon brings depth and brood. Tasmania delivers brightness and precision. Same grape. Completely different animal.
But Pinot’s story doesn’t end with red.
From finely structured sparkling wines to textural, quietly complex whites, Pinot reveals a remarkable ability to transform — shaped by place, climate and the hand of the winemaker.
At Bar Que Sera, we’re bringing these expressions together for a special long lunch hosted by Duane Roy. Across eight wines, Duane will share insights, stories and the subtle decisions that shape each wine in the glass.
