WINE OF THE WEEK: Ide Alcalde Pinot Noir 2024, Sonoma County, California, US
£17.30–£19.30, Tanners Wines
There’s no shortage of good Pinot Noir in California. What there’s a dearth of is California Pinot Noir that’s good value by the time it reaches UK wine drinkers, which makes Ide Alcalde Pinot Noir 2024 from Sonoma County a rarity: it’s not just good value, it’s great value – even more so at £17.30 when you buy two or more bottles.
From the aromas of rose, Earl Grey tea and baking spices to the fine-tuned cherry and cranberry fruit, the savoury undertone, polished texture and breezy freshness, it's a model expression of grape variety and origin.
It’s made by Sonoma Bespoke, a custom wine bottling service based in Napa Valley, which doesn’t sound very romantic but it has a reputation for high-quality – borne out by this wine and its Chardonnay partner, Ide El Verano (same vintage, same price at Tanners) – and has a commitment to sustainable practices.
The founder and CEO of the company, Max Franks, is a native of Hertfordshire and the chairman, Donny Sebastiani, is the great grandson of the Italian Samuele Sebastiani who started making wine in Sonoma in the early 1900s.
Serve Ide Alcade Pinot Noir 2024 cool and pair it with things such as dry-cured ham and smoked duck breast (magret fumé), mushroom dishes such as porcini with pasta, duck breasts (for example, with pomegranate and mint or Zuza Zak’s recipe with redcurrants and roast pumpkin in her book Amber & Rye), fish such as salmon, red mullet and meaty sea bream, lightly spiced sautéed or roast aubergine and roast poultry. Or serve it as a red wine aperitif. 12.5%.

Surveying Australian gaming clubs, I noticed that the most reliable feedback usually comes from players who describe their visits in a straightforward and believable way. Instead of focusing on flashy banners or promotional slogans, they pay attention to navigation, clarity of rules, and the way deposits or withdrawals are handled. That kind of commentary feels more authentic because it reflects actual use rather than marketing. When I read about Casino Crown Perth, several users mentioned that the structure of the site and the transparency of its conditions gave them confidence, and those details mattered more than any visual effects.
Excellent wine review! This Ide Alcalde Pinot Noir sounds like such an exciting find — great quality from Sonoma at a very reasonable price point for UK buyers. I loved your clear tasting notes and the wide range of thoughtful food‑pairing ideas. It is really helpful to discover under‑the‑radar, good‑value California Pinot Noir recommendations. Great work! --addition
