Last night we enjoyed an Oregon Pinot Gris 2007 from The Eyrie Vineyards in Oregon. We ate at an outside cafe and had an eclectic mix of dinner selections. The wine went well with the variety of items ordered including an artichoke quiche. The weather was pleasant with a light breeze.
The Pinot Gris was produced from estate grown grapes in the Dundee Hills. The wine label indicated that this was suitable for casual or formal situations, although I believe it would be most suitable for casual, outdoor occasions. The color of the wine was a beautiful gold. The aroma was light although being outside the aroma may have been affected by the breeze. The taste had summer fruit nuances to it. This would be a good summer time beverage to enjoy casually.
