Interesting wine a few days ago, a 2009 Adelsheim Pinot Gris from Oregon's Willamette Valley. Greenish yellow in the glass and a tart nose of green grapes and lemon zest. Grapey taste with a musky dryness to it. Medium body and a fair amount of acid. A little short in the finish.
There was a pan seared trout fillet with some zucchini to round things out. Nice match with this wine. I don't normally buy or drink Pinot Gris, but this one came recommended from a distributor. Not a great wine, but drinkable and good with the food, and sometimes that's all one needs. Good bargain also at $15. 13% alcohol.
