Domaine
🎵 Domaine – VinoZen Music - 🎧 Listen on all major platforms
A silky jazz-blues confession steeped in Pinot Noir, whispered memory, and longing.
“Domaine” was written between places I’ve stood… and one I still dream of.
It’s a quiet tribute to the Pinot lands that shaped me.
See if you can pick them out—I never name them outright.
But they’re in the scene, the mood—woven into every transition and emotion.
This song isn’t just about wine.
Not just about the “Heartbreak Grape” — Pinot Noir.
It’s about the experience of every single drop.
And I’d go back again.

Stag’s Hollow Renaissance Pinot Noir 2022
I reviewed the Shuttleworth Creek Pinot Noir 2022 and it made the top 8 due to its vibrant tranquillity (if that makes sense). It’s a beautiful and elegant Pinot Noir that has great approachability yet offering layered complexity and elegance.
Okanagan Pinot Noir - VinoZen Society Selection 2024
I am delighted to share my findings after tasting 35 Pinot Noirs from the Okanagan Valley, spanning the 2020 to 2022 vintages. Before diving into the reviews, let’s briefly discuss the tasting process and criteria used for evaluation.
There will be no scoring of the wines but rather honest assessments and opinions. I will be sharing with you both objectively and subjectively how I view these wines. Hopefully you find it both useful and entertaining.
Martin's Lane Winery
I did not know what to expect - and I certainly did not expect such intense complexity delivered in such a free spirited elegance. I became a fan that day.
