Pinot Grigio
Barone Fini 2010 Pinot Grigio
Yes, there are a lot of Pinot Grigios/Gris out there, but this one was a charming surprise. The usual citrus aromas had welcoming flowery notes, and the green apple and honeydew melon fuit flavors was complex and layered. Lovely Italian acidity rounded out the rich fruit. From the Adige Valley in northeast Italy, where vines reach 30 years old and grapes are handpicked. Great price for a DOC Pinot Grigio.

Kris Pinot Grigio 2007 (Italy)
Wonderful aromas of tropical and honeydew melon are found in the nose of this Pinot Grigio. The palate features medium plus acid, moderate alcohol levels (12.5%), and terrific viscosity and mouth feel. Dry flavors tropical fruit and dried apricots entice would be drinker. A wonderfully long finish adds to this wine's surprise. Great bang for the buck!

Hogue Pinot Grigio 2007 (Washington)
Great bang for the buck is found in this white wine. A bouquet of fresh Anjou pear and lemon is found on the nose. The palate is well structured and well balanced. Dry, tart flavors of citrus and apricot are delivered. A delightful, long finish is to be expected. Drink now. Perfect with chicken and barbecue ribs.

Beringer Pinot Grigio 2006 (California)
What a refreshing dry white wine! The nose of this Pinot Grigio features textbook aromas of tropical fruit and the reminiscent Juicy Fruit gum of childhood past. The palate of this white wine is balanced and light bodied, featuring medium acidity with desirable tart, fruit-forward flavors. Terrific flavors of tropical fruit and tart key lime come rushing forward without overpowering the curious oenophile. A long finish is experienced. Enjoy!
