ROSE 'N' BLUM PINOT GRIGIO 2011
CALIFORNIA
By: Ed "The Wine Guy"
The name Kent Rosenblum summons up tastes of great Zinfandels and Syrahs. I was fortunate enough to sample his wines at the Rosenblum Cellars tasting room in Alameda, California, on more than one occasion. Extraordinary! He is so skilled a vintner, that he probably could make wines out of mushrooms! Kidding, of course. Mushrooms cannot ferment because of the lack of sugar. This Pinot Grigio of his is delightfully refreshing. It is light and fragrant, fruit-forward, exhibiting aromas and flavors of peach, pear, and green apple. Serve it chilled on its own, with appetizers, or with a crisp salad or light meal. One taste, and you may choose it as your summer wine.
