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:

Classic Pinot Gris with dry, mouth-watering flavours of white peach and grapefruit. Clean and refreshing without any heavy oak or alcohol. Medium-bodied and wonderful for many dishes. Food matches: seafood, pasta with cream sauce, white meats, cheeses.

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:

The grapes used in the 2008 Pinot Gris were selected from vineyards in the northern Okanagan Valley. The grapes were picked at over 22 Brix. The wine did not undergo malolactic fermentation in order to retain maximum freshness and was fermented in stainless steel tanks.
