White Wine by Terlato Vineyards from Russian River, California. Pinot Grigio resembles Pinot Noir until veraison. The clusters when harvested are a beautiful copper color. Being a natural genetic mutation, Pinot Grigio has all the intrigue, complexity and flavors of Pinot Noir, with none of the red color. This vintage suggests that the Russian River Valley can produce Pinot Grigio every bit as glorious as its famous Pinot Noirs. The fruit comes from two vineyards in the Russian River Valley. The grapes were hand harvested and delivered to the winery in half-ton picking bins in the cooler mornings in order to maximize the grapes' integrity.

White Wine by Attems from Italian, Italy. On the palate the first impression is of a seductive suppleness; the wine then expands nicely, enlivened by a crisp, judicious acidity and concludes with a lingering finish generously marked by fruity, clean-edged aromas. Marked fragrances of ripe fruit, such as banana and peach, which harmonize appealingly with complex floral notes. A fairly deep straw-yellow in appearance.

White Wine by Terlano from Trentino-Alto Adige, Italy. It is light straw in color with pleasant aromas of ripe melon and freshly picked MacIntosh apples.

White Wine by Trimbach from Alsace, France - regions. 100% Pinot Gris, with grapes sourced from the Trimbach's own vineyards and about 100 growers with whom the family has long-term relationships. Not to be confused with Italy's Pinot Grigio, the Pinot Gris vine of Alsace is descended from the Pinot Beurot, originally from Burgundy. Abundant ripe fruit on the nose and a creaminess on the palate are brought to life with subtle acidity. Softer and less challenging than other varieties, this wine is still totally dry. A good choice for appetizers, fish and shellfish, poultry and other white meats and many lighter pasta, rice and Asian dishes.

White Wine by Pike & Joyce from South Australia, Australia. The Pike & Joyce vineyard, high up in the Adelaide Hills outside of the town of Lenswood, is a very special place. The steep slopes only permit hand pruning and harvesting. The fruit exhibits great intensity and purity. This '06 Pinot Gris is a beauty. Clean and fresh nectarine and pear flavors leap out of the glass. Hints of stone and flint linger all the way to the vibrant and long finish. This wine is both intensely flavored and wonderfully elegant. One of the best New World Pinot Gris's you are ever likely to taste. Enjoy whilst it is young and frisky.

White Wine by Adelsheim from Willamette Valley, Oregon. Pinot Gris, originating in Burgundy like the other members of the Pinot family, has had a long history all over Europe. In recent times, versions from Alsace and northern Italy have been the best known. Oregon winegrowers introduced Pinot Gris to New World viticulture and in forty years the variety has become the white wine of Oregon. Adelsheim Vineyard can lay claim to being one of the very oldest producers of this variety outside of Europe. With this wine, Adelsheim's 23rd vintage, their experience shows - they've long been acknowledged as producing a reference standard for the Oregon style. Crisp, bright flavors have always been the hallmark of Adelsheim Pinot Gris. In the 2006 vintage, there is beautifully delineated Bosc pear, white peach, and Winesap apple, with a touch of spice. It pulls off the difficult feat of providing a gentle creaminess that lends a mouth-filling texture and long finish, yet still impressing as a wine that's crisp and clean. Try this wine with mildly spicy foods (such as ceviche), not so mildly spicy Thai cuisine, rich fish entrees, and even classic oven-roasted fowl.

White Wine by MacMurray Ranch from Russian River, California. MacMurray Ranch Russian River Valley Pinot Gris shows fruit and flowers in the front palate, with a voluptuous texture and substantial body.

White Wine by Masi from Friuli-Venezia Giulia, Italy. 75% Pinot Grigio, 25% Verduzzo Interesting color nuances with notable golden reflections. Attractive flower-fresh and ripe-fruit nose. The Verduzzo grapes ensure complexity and the Pinot Grigio grapes give their usual freshness on the palate. Marked hints of dried fruit and an aftertaste with hints of pineapple. Pinot Grigio delle Venezie is the most up-to-date Italian white wine. The richness of the perfumes and aromas of this grape cultivated at Castions di Strada, in the Friuli region, complements the structure of the native Verduzzo grape, deliberately picked slightly over-ripe and matured on plateaux. Masianco is a Supervenetian of great personality which goes well with the typical dishes of today's cuisine: hors d'oeuvres, fish and grilled white meats.

White Wine by Lucien Albrecht from Alsace, France - regions. The Pinot Gris Cuvee Romanus is named for Romanus Albrecht, the first winegrower of the Albrecht wine family in 1425. It's 100% Pinot Gris and expresses the rich yet dry power and character of this exceptional varietal. Sweet floral flavors alongside crisp mineral notes make for an elegantly balanced wine. The clay/limestone soil gives the wine a creamy, velvety texture with a long finish. Enjoy this wine with Cobb & shrimp salads, shellfish, poultry, and Asian inspired dishes. Semi-soft cheeses like Brie and Chevre will also complement it well. Alsatian whites characteristically age well due to their high acidity and lower percentage of alcohol.
