The perfect red wine for many, Pinot Noir tends to be smooth, easy to sip and the ideal summer red since it’s well balanced and never heavy. B.C. boasts some spectacular ones—including these four must-tries. (Bonus: August 18 is National Pinot Noir Day—the perfect excuse to raise a glass!) —Catherine Dunwoody
