What to Expect

Pinot Grigio is one of the world's most popular wines. Also known under the French moniker "Pinot Gris", and even the German "Ruländer" among others, Pinot Grigio is a chameleon of a grape. It is produced in a range of styles, from the light fruity Italian style that has gained popularity, to a more mineral, flinty rich wine favored by the French - particularly in Alsace - and emulated by many in the new world.

It is time to take <I>terroir</I> into consideration." Actually, to appreciate Shady Lane Cellars’ 2005 Pinot Grigio, a grape that demonstrates its growing site well, you should take a few minutes to read what else Berger has to say about taking <I>terroir read more...
