We’ve always been partial to red wines, particularly during the cold winter months, but the right kind of white wine can transport you to summer evenings on the porch.
That’s the case with this lovely pinot gris from Washington, which is one of the better white wines we’ve had in a while.
The winemaker says this vintage came from a challenging growing season that produced lower yields but lots of flavor. The wine was fermented in stainless steel, and a dash of pinot blanc juice was added. It’s a veritable orchard in the glass with lots of stone fruit flavor and a dash of refreshing citrus.
Sherry: “Pear and green apple with an almond finish.” 3-1/2 stars
Chris: “A citrus nose with flavors of green apple, lime and grapefruit.” 4 stars
Available locally for about $10.
Coming next week: Georges Duboeuf Moulin-a-Vent
