Other Wines in the House - Damiani Pinot Grigio

Pinot Grigio is another one of the wines I am not absolutely crazy about, however, I think I am beginning to find a like about it. 

This Finger Lakes 2010 Damiani was my first New York State Pinot Grigio that I tried and I liked it. Damiani Wine Cellars is located on the eastern shore of Seneca Lake. If you are ever in the Finger Lakes I would recommend a stop here. 

A nose of pear and green apple was crisp and clean. The palate had flavors of honeysuckle and green apple hints of tangerines.  It was crisp, acidic with a mineral finish that had touch of lemon zest.  The wine had a great mouth feel.


There were 340 cases of this wine produced and it sells for $15.99 a bottle.

I've never had the Pinot Grigio, but I am a big fan of this vineyard on the whole. Good Riesling, good hybrid white blend (Dolce ... something, I can't remember), and some really outstanding reds (best Lemberger in FLX, for example).
