Where it comes from

Borrowed from French pinot, a type of wine or grapevine, from earlier pineau.

noun pinots

  1. countable, uncountable Any of several grape varieties grown in Europe and North America. You see, the reason that this region is so good for pinot, is that the cold air off the Pacific flows in at night and it just cools down the berries. Pinot's a very thin-skinned grape. It doesn't like constant heat or humidity. Very delicate.
  2. broadly, countable, uncountable Any of several wines made from these grapes, in particular pinot noir. How much funkiness makes a pinot taste desirably complex, and how much more really is too much? Is a pinot good if it does not taste more like fruit than stones?
