Shop Review: "Brilliant straw color with emerald reflections. Fresh and floral bouquet with a hint of pears, apricots and bananas. Fresh and inviting with bright fruit and an easy drinking style with a pleasing hint of almonds in the aftertaste." - Vintage Cellar

My Review: I found this wine to be a very clear white wine. At first this wine smelt very sweet, but the taste was actually very different. I thought that this wine was very tart much like other pinot grigio wines that I have tasted. Although the tartness seemed to overpower the other flavors, I was able to pull out the fruits in this wine. In particular, I tasted the pears and apricots the most. 

Food: I drank this wine at the Vintage Cellar tasting, so I was unable to pair any foods to this wine.
