Wild Haven Pinot Gris Columbia Valley 2011 was the choice by Melissa. Brit managed to get the same wine from the same valley even.
Appearance: looks like water, almost no color, thin legs.
Smell: very citrusy, homeysuckle, pear, lime, grapefruit
Taste: very light pleasant taste, refreshing, citrus bitey endnote, very smooth silky mouthfeel, starts with a mild wine taste then builds to a fruity taste of pear, apricot, honeysuckle, and then ends with the citrus bite.
Pairings: the Hogan family had fediccini Alfredo with shrimp for dinner. Brit had cod with potato crust. The Swartzwelders had pineapple chicken with rice. Havarty cheese brings out the fruit taste. Cheddar also brings out the fruit but not as much. Gouda tones down the citrus.
