Ransom Pinot Gris 2008

Zesty grapefruit and persimmons. Creamy lemon curd with a medium-body and nice minerally finish. The flavor lasts and has a sweet-tangerine essence.

Acrobat Oregon Pinot Gris 2008

Made by King Estate in Eugene. Very fresh nose with grapefruit and citrus. Clean to the point with a full center and a very light finish. On the shelf for $12.99, sustainably grown.

WAY OUT: Trimbach Pinot Gris 2005 Reserve

Rich and sweet with nice acidity. Apples and golden raisins show up at the finish. Brings pinot gris to a new level. I brought this in because I was lacking a French pinot gris in the store, and because it's way out of my comfort zone. This wine would be great with Indian food or a couscous.
