BREGGO CELLARS PINOT GRIS 2012
ANDERSON VALLEY, MENDOCINO
CALIFORNIA
By: Ed "The Wine Guy"
Pinot Gris and Pinot Grigio are wines that are made from the same grape. In most cases it's a matter of difference of styles. Wines called Pinot Gris, following the example of Alsace, France, tend to have a creamy mouth-feel and, because of that, seem to have a fuller body; Pinot Grigio wines, e.g., Kris from Italy, tend to be lighter and crisper. I enjoy both styles. That said, the Breggo Cellars Pinot Gris 2012 is an elegant wine, with a creamy mouth-feel, exhibiting aromas and flavors of peach, citrus, and apple, with hints of pineapple, melon, and minerality. Enjoy these final days of summer with a memorable wine.
