99 Vines Pinot Grigio
In Minnesota we have a great fishing tradition and culture. Whether you're in a canoe or a speedboat, there is great peace and tranquility to come from sitting back and casting a line. A few hours later you hopefully have a bucketful of walleye and bass (or even just some panfish), at which time you head to the shore for another great tradition: the shore lunch. Get a gigantic pot of water into a rolling boil, add carrots, potatoes, lots of spices, and more. Clean the fish you just caught and drop them in. Throw a little more heat (bacon fat works well) into the fire so the water rolls out and over the pot, putting the fire out. Dump the complete contents onto a newspaper covered picnic table and dive in. The wine? This one -- unpretentious, clean, bright, lively, and affordable. Simple as that.
Wine review by Jason Kallsen, December 2011
Light-bodied, elegant and flavorful. Tart green apple flavors with notes of luscious white peach, floral blossom, and citrus. Tasty and tangy.
