Pinot Gris
Chateau Ste. Michelle Pinot Gris 2007 (Washington)
This white wine is a terrific bargain for the price. The nose features aromas of tropical fruit and honeysuckle blossoms. This wine’s structured, dry palate is outstanding and features balanced acidity and alcohol. Flavors of lemon, tropical fruit and subtle pear notes prevail.

King Estate Pinot Gris 2006 (Oregon)
King Estate winery is well known for their certified organic wines. A bouquet of peach, canned pears and all spice is featured on the nose. The palate tends towards the acidic, yet is not overwhelming. Appetizing, dry, fruit-forward flavors of granny smith apple, citrus and subtle baked pear entice the drinker. A mouthwatering, long finish is to be experienced. A perfect pairing with seafood pasta dishes. Drink now.

Gallo Family Reserve Pinot Gris (Sonoma)
This pinot gris is truly delightful. The nose ushers forth aromas of tropical fruit and lemon. The palate is dry, balanced, with medium body and fruit forward flavors consisting of tropical fruit, citrus and peach. A mouth-watering, long finish is to be expected.
