Fascinating #willamettevalley white from #apollonivineyards. I had the distinct pleasure of being served this wine from the winemaker/owner Alfredo Apolloni, who made the trip for a tasting event at a local Houston wine bar. Alfredo was humble and engaging. He walked me through this wine, choosing to age 25% in acacia wood barrels so there’s a really compelling white citrus blossom aroma mingling with grippy tannins, hints of vanilla but no malolactic fermentation to preserve freshness and acidity. The acid bite is offset with forward fruit on this #pinotgris — 2 years ago
A light, flinty, and crisp pink from my new favorite winery. Sampled at a @magruders tasting and bought their #PinotNoir #PinotGris, and #Rose. All excellent! — 4 years ago
Drinking Lee’s Pinot Gris from his first wine at the new winery! The grapes are sourced from Niagara as the vineyard has just been replanted with new vines. #countycollab #pinotgris — 2 years ago
#pinotgris from #nzwine #martinborough okay overpriced but still lovely and textural. Lots of ripe Granny Smith and green water pears in the nose and palate. Also a bit flinty (screwcap) lemon rind, honey, ripe pineapple...my God as I’m writing this tasting note I’m liking it more and more. Has some Rieslingesque qualities and just a pinch of sweet ripe fruit on the finish — 2 years ago
This #newzealand #pinotgris features white peach, lemon, guava and other tropical fruit aromas. On the palate it has a off-dry character but it’s honest in that you taste the same aromas - a quite agreeable crisp white. — 3 years ago

The bouquet smells like honeyed peach. This wine feels effervescent on the tongue even though it is not a sparkling wine. Rocks are the theme of the palate. It tastes of stone fruit with minerality in the finish. Great with Vietnamese-style baked chicken. — 2 years ago
Excellent #pinotgrigio #pinotgris I’m not a Pinot Grigio fan but this has texture and layers. #italywine — 3 years ago
Vintage 2015 / Luncheonwine on saturday with herring beetroot salad. Good combination. Vibrant and crisp #pinotgris with only shy spicyness. From #friuli. I love each wine of La Tunella. — 4 years ago
