I tasted this one at a tasting Vinexx had. I don’t usually like Pinot Grigios. I generally find them light summer sippers with little to no finish or body. This one is pale in color with a mild nose. On the mid pallet this wine displays some nice minerality as some nice dry acidity. The wine is medium in length with the acidity and minerality living on nicely. This would be a very food friendly wine. I was impressed. Add to that $13.95 a bottle and this wine is a good deal. Unfortunately, it is not available in the LCBO, but you can get it from Vinexx in cases of 12. Here’s the link to the winery’s web site. I would give it an 88-89. Contact Johanne Desautels at Vinexx for more info or to order.
