About the Wine: J is an iconic winemaker known for a variety of products including Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, and sparkling wine. The Pinot Gris is the least expensive of their offerings, which can go for upwards of thirty dollars. Pinot Gris is made from the same kind of grape as Pinot Grigio and some say there is no difference. However, Pinot Gris is grown and processed in a different way in the hopes of creating a distinctive style of wine.
About THIS Wine: The color is a light yellow. Peach is heavy on the nose with hints of orange. The palate is a mix of citrus, lemon, and peach (yes, I know lemon is a citrus, but lemon has a smell distinct from other citrus fruit.) Acidity lingers on the finish.
Drinking This Wine: Classic dry patio pounder. You can have it with chicken or fish, but I think it is best by itself.
Overall Impression: This is a remarkably good wine at a reasonable price. It is a good value.
