Pelee Island Winery Pinot Grigio, Ontario V.Q.A., Canada: A crisp, refreshing white that opens with aromas of green apple, pear, and lemon zest, touched by a hint of white blossom. It’s light-bodied, dry, and bright on the palate, with 12% alcohol and a clean, zesty finish that makes it endlessly drinkable. Serve it well-chilled to highlight its lively acidity and citrus edge. Fascinating fact: Pelee Island Winery is Canada’s southernmost estate, located on an island in Lake Erie with a unique microclimate that provides one of the country’s longest growing seasons—perfect for producing fresh, aromatic whites. This Pinot Grigio is best enjoyed young, within 2–3 years, for its pure fruit and crisp character. You can order this wine directly from the winery at www.peleeisland.com. Pinot Grigio food pairings: grilled lemon-garlic chicken skewers, where the wine’s acidity matches the citrus and balances the char. Or serve it with a classic margarita pizza, its simplicity allowing the Pinot Grigio’s clean, refreshing style to shine.. 326413 12% D 750 mL $16.95 Score: 90/100. September 2025.
