| Community Tasting Notes (average 88 pts. and median of 88 pts. in 4 notes) - hiding notes with no text | | | Tasted by wgilbert3 on 2/6/2023 & rated 88 points: Nice fruit driven bottle; some apricot notes on the nose along witha bit of spice. Light nose and body; missing the "oily" consistency I like in a PG. Pleasant to sip; can pair with light food. (72 views) | | | Tasted by wgilbert3 on 11/29/2022 & rated 88 points: Very nice PG; definitely pick up the distinctive flavor on both nose and palate; better as it warms up. Haven't tried with food but great to sip. (97 views) | | | Tasted by wgilbert3 on 9/14/2022 & rated 88 points: Classic pinot gris on the nose and palate. Nice "oily" body; medium body and finish. Not quite as dry as some Alsace PG but not sweet at all; probably best described as slightly off dry where the fruit stands out. Very pleasant to sip; haven't tried it with food except cheese where it paired nicely with a mild gouda. (81 views) | | | Tasted by jkscully on 7/20/2022: Honeydew melon, peach, and mango with grassy notes, but I am also happy to find some ginger, volcanic ash, and some minerals, which makes this pretty nice. Another CT reviewer talked about this wine having the Alsatian Pinot Gris “mustiness” (as opposed to Italian light and crisp Pinot Grigio) and, having just been to Alsace a week ago and tasted several Alsatian Pinot Gris there (and liking them very much), I have to agree. It has a proper thick, oily texture too. This can compete with similarly-priced version from Alsace. I’m impressed. Mostly dry, just .5% alcohol remaining. (134 views) |

Wines made from the Pinot gris vary greatly and are dependent on the region and wine making style they are from. Alsatian Pinot gris are medium to full bodied wines with a rich, somewhat floral bouquet. They tend to be spicy in comparisons with other Pinot gris. While most Pinot gris are meant to be consumed early, Alsatian Pinot gris can age well. German Pinot gris are more full-bodied with a balance of acidity and slight sweetness. In Oregon the wines are medium bodied with a yellow to copper-pink color and aromas of pear, apple, and/or melon. In California, the Pinot gris are more light bodied with a crisp, refreshing taste with some pepper and arugula notes. The Pinot grigio style of Italy is a light-bodied, often lean wine that is light in color with sometimes spritzy flavors that can be crisp and acidic. Although this wine can be very sweet, it will begin to lose its acidity when it is nearly ripe.
Pinot gris is considered an "early to market wine" that can be bottled and out on the market within 4–12 weeks after fermentation.

Tarte tatinUSAAmerican wine has been produced since the 1500s, with the first widespread production beginning in New Mexico in 1628. Today, wine production is undertaken in all fifty states, with California producing 84% of all U.S. wine. The continent of North America is home to several native species of grape, including Vitis labrusca, Vitis riparia, Vitis rotundifolia, and Vitis vulpina, but the wine-making industry is based almost entirely on the cultivation of the European Vitis vinifera, which was introduced by European settlers. With more than 1,100,000 acres (4,500 km2) under vine, the United States is the fourth-largest wine producing country in the world, after Italy, Spain, and France.New York Uncork New York!
