Tasting Week 13: Beringer Pinot Grigio


Variety: Pinot Grigio
Region: Napa, California
Country: USA
Year: 2010
Price: $7.95 
Food?: Paired with mozzarella, bread, and salami.





Winery Review:
Founders' Estate Pinot Grigio has the perfect balance of zesty citrus and lush tropical fruit flavors and aromas.

My Review: 
A perfect apertif, this Pinot Grigio is very smooth and pleasing for it's price range.  On the nose, this white is comparably very light and fruity, with notes of pear and wildflowers.  On the palate, this white lands bright and fresh with strong green apple and lemon flavors.  There is almost no heat from the alcohol, and when paired with the very salty appetizers, this white is refreshing, light, and fruity.
