Saturday, May 17th is National Pinot Grigio day. The time is perfect to sip on something light and delicious. The primary fruit flavors in Pinot Grigio are lime, lemon, pear, white nectarine and apple. Depending on where the grapes are grown, Pinot Grigio can take on faint honeyed notes, floral aromas like honeysuckle, and a saline-like minerality.
You probably already know that Pinot Gris and Pinot Grigio are the same wine.
Celebrate with a glass (or two!) of Pinot Grigio. Available in 4 week Classic or 6 week Reserve. Or a glass of 8 week Private Reserve Pinot Gris. All are $15 off today only!
