I am looking for appetizer suggestions that would match well with pinots. Something that would match well with subtle red burgundy and something else that could handle a big ripe Pinot Noir from California.

Try a salmon based appetizer. Like salmon salad or just grilled salmon cut into 2 inch strips with a white sauce and toasted french bread rounds brushed with olive oil and a little melted butter.
bacon wrapped shrimp marinated in butter and tiger sauce cooked on the grill. It's just good.
I love goat cheese with Pinot Noir. Look for something like a Tomme Verte rather than a higher fat cheese like a d'Affinois.
Pinwheels os smoked salmon with some cream cheese and chives goes well with Pinot Noir.
If you're up to the task, duck rillettes is (are?) outstanding with Pinot Noir.
Diced tarragon chicken breast on toothpicks is another alternative.
Roast marinated pork tenderloin cubes on toothpicks is something we've used.

How about crostini topped with a mushroom/cheese mixture. What about a simple pate? Or playing on some of the other recs... what about a puff pastry tart with salmon and goat cheese
HMM, I've wanted to try to make a pate. Good ideas to mull over.
Hey Purple,
Another idea is a salmon mousse. We had one at the Ferrari Carano winery once and it was awesome.
Sorry I don't have the recipe but maybe a search will yield results.
I love salmon with PN.
Except maybe the sushi...
I've served a pork tenderloin sliced and topped with goat cheese and some of that fisher-weismanns raspberry chipotle sauce to favorable reviews too. Good hot or cold.

I like the goat cheese rec from Board-O. If you want something domestic, Humboldt Fog is very good and should pair nicely.

Whole Foods often has a goat's milk gouda that is to die for.
