It detracts substantially from your wine-snob pose that
you can't spell "pinot noir" correctly.

mcnally if you do a google of the spelling, you will find that plenty 
of people use the spelling "pinot noire" instead of "pinot noir"  It is 
not an either/or deal.  Noire (spelled with an 'e') is french for 
black, and pinot noire are black grapes.  So I spelled it like the 
french do, not the snooty californians in napa valley   :)

My understanding (from a year of French in college) is that "pinot",
being a masculine noun, would take the masculine form of the adjective
("noir"), whereas a feminine noun such as "plume" (pen) would take the
feminine form of the adjective, "noire".  Thus:

    English                        French
    -------                        ------
    the black wine                 le pinot noir
    the black pen                  la plume noire

A Google search for "pinot noire" yields some hits, but then, there's
plenty of wrong stuff on the web, n'est ce pas?

unlucky

#14 of 19 by naftee on Wed Aug 9 00:38:23 2006:

remmers is indeed correct; the adjectives agree with the gender of the noun.
So since pinot is masculine, it's written "le pinot noir".

there are some adjectives that are invariable, though.

Perhaps richard and his liberal friends are drinking transgendered wine.
