3 | Wine | Pinot Grigio / Pinot Gris, White, France

"The 2010 Gustave Lorentz Pinot Gris Reserve is gold-yellow in color, with a charming and complex nose of dried white fruits and nuts, with a touch of smokiness. The same expressive characteristics are found on the palate which is generous, fruitforward and full-bodied with balanced acidity."

"Scents of white truffle; candied lime and orange peel; and peach could also be those of a Riesling. Firm, polished, and palpably full of stuffing, yet succulent and downright refreshing in a way Alsace Pinot Gris seldom is, this brings varietally recognizable smoke and lip-smacking saline savor in its finish. As a classic (read: “old-fashioned, dry-tasting”) Alsace Pinot Gris that should drink well for at least 8-10 years, this represents an exceptional value … and if you consider the price of white truffles, it’s a steal!"
