A six-bottle sampler of Pinot Noir from Burgundy, Savoie, Tuscany, the Loire, and Friuli
With the spoils of our gardens and farmers’ markets in mind, here are twelve wines in celebration of summer bounty.
I propose twelve bottles to accompany a spring feast in which many distinctive dishes would mingle on a big, long table and there would be enough wine to serve a multitude of serendipitous guests.

Six reds from France and Italy that are refreshing, invigorating, and relatively light on their feet.
