Ever since the film Sideways was released, the Pinot seems to be the trendy wine of California. When people are visiting California or trying to figure out what type of wine to ship home, it is usually a Pinot. It seems like it used to be a Cabernet, or maybe a Merlot, but now, Pinot.
Keeping with the times, one of my favorite producers of Pinot Noir is Adelaida Cellars. Adelaida Cellars is located west of Paso Robles a little ways off Highway 46, and has a really nice selection of wines. But my favorite wines from Adelaida are their HMR Vineyard Pinots. I have ordered bottles from several vintages and some large formats and never been disappointed.
Adelaida has some wine clubs (I am a member of their Viking Club), has a great tasting room, and wonderful wines. They tend to be low production wines, so you probably won't find them at your local wine merchant or restaurant. They sell out fairly quickly, and I like the Estate and Estate Reserve HMR Pinot.
