Nils states:"So, a _sweet_ Pinot Noir? That=B4s ... odd. (Now I know
somebody=B4s gonna tell me about the really _great_ sweet PN's made in
Outer Mongolia or from this small but perfect plot in ... you name it
... and I=B4m sooo looking forward to it!)".

You may only have to go to Germany to find a sweet Pinot Noir. Perhaps
some is even exported to your country. Sp=E4tburgunder, as it is called
in Germany, is Pinot Noir. It is grown in several parts of Germany, but
for a long time at Assmannshausen in the Rheingau. The dry wine made
from Sp=E4tburgunder there in many years is very light and nearly a pink
wine. However sweet auslese wines long have been made there in years
when conditions are right. I have never tasted the very sweet version,
mainly because I did not think I would like it enough to seek it out. I
would not be surprised to find a sweet Pinot Noir from Austria also. It
seems that someone in Austria either makes, or has tried to make, a
sweet, late harvest wine from just about every grape that will grow
there, be it whiteor red.
