You can’t get much fresher than this wine - even the
label looks like Spring! It’s time for all the Pinot Grigio and
Sauvignon Blanc drinkers out there to check out Gruner Veltliner.
Clean, tangy, dry and fresh. (Austria)

What a tasty blend. 40% Semillon, 40% Sauvignon Blanc
and 20% Viognier. It showcases all the attributes of
the various varietals: the lanolin of the Semillon, the flowery
elements of the Viognier and the citric zest of Sauvignon Blanc.
Rich, creamy and smooth in the mouth with flavors of citrus and
peach, it’s a good drinker on its own but even better with (sea)food.
Trinquer (pronounced trank-ay) means to clink glasses in French.

Elk Cove

90-91/100 - Our score.
Chardonnay still reigns supreme in the white wine
stakes, but now faces a new contender, Oregon Pinot Gris.
Pinot Gris still makes for a pleasant alternative, offering much of
the body and depth one might look for in Chardonnay, but without
the flavor of wood. The Elk Cove is 100% stainless steel fermented,
with aromas of apple, peach and spice. Rich and pure on the palate
with corresponding flavors of apple, pear and melon, it finishes with
delicious mouth-watering acidity. An outstanding wine. (Oregon)
