Oregon Pinot Gris- On the Road to Becoming A New Favorite

January 31, 2008


If you're a wine lover, or even a connoisseur, you are probably familiar with Oregon's well-known celebrated wine, Pinot noir. But have you heard of an equally delicious wine, known as Pinot gris?

According to The New York Times, "Oregon pinot gris is one of the least-talked-about, best-value wines on the market today."

Pinot gris often have flavors of flowers, nuts and fruits (such as the pear). They often have a very crisp, clean flavor and taste good when paired with a variety of dishes. If you're looking for a good place to taste an Oregon Pinot gris, try Ankeny Vineyard Winery or Willamette Valley Vineyards. I have purchased many a bottle of Pinot gris from both places, and it has been well worth the trip. A glass of Pinot gris tastes great anytime, but especially on a hot day. It is very refreshing!
