Note: I publish batches of reviews that I call Good Values Wine Picks. These are from the regular section of the liquor store rather than the Vintages section, and tend to be lower priced and the most widely available of all wines. The last four reviews I did were: March 7, January 4, December 16 and November 20.

Tasting note:

Lovely white peach aromas in this flavourful pinot gris. Remarkable quality for the price point. Zippy notes of lime and citrus zest make it a great aperitif or companion to many dishes. Food matches: roasted seasoned chicken or pasta with a light cream sauce.

Opinions about wine differ greatly as the experience is subjective. You may find it helpful to compare this critical evaluation of the wine with mine as well as your own:
Velvety in character, it fills the mouth. The fresh acidity provides the harmony and definition characteristic of
white wines from the Uco Valley.

Serve this wine between 55-60 degrees Farenheit or 12-16 degrees Celsius. Tip: If your bottle is at room temperature, put it in ice water for about 30 minutes or in the fridge for about three hours to chill it.
