Wine Review: This Pinot Grigio is straw colored with a tinge of white gold. It opens with a Bosc pear bouquet with a hint of pilsner beer. On the palate, this wine is medium bodied, slightly acidic and mouthwatering. The flavor profile is a tasty mineral infused green apple with a hint of lime and a touch pilsner beer. The finish is dry and its flavors linger for quite some time. This wine would pair well with mussels steamed in a garlic wine broth. Enjoy - Ken

Winemaker Notes: Appearance: straw yellow with light golden hues Nose: extremely elegant, intense, harmonious and complex, with evident notes of melon and candied fruit; aromas of jasmine, white peach, apricot, orange blossom, pear, banana, honey, mango and wild flowers; finish with a delicate notes of brioche and flint. Palate: fresh, smooth, long, with a great balance and a mineral note perfectly integrated; complex and persistent aromas, with great impact. Serving suggestions: A particularly good match for fish, mollusc appetizers, risottos and baked vegetables.
