Such a perfectly poised balance between lemon pith, honeysuckle and oyster shell that it moves across the palate like quicksilver. A blend of Pinot Grigio and Greco di Tufo.

Grapefruit pith, honeysuckle, root vegetable, mineral, decent acidity.

Lime zest, salinity, honeysuckle, citrus lingering finish.

90 degrees Lake Michigan….Whitefish Picatta and asparagus risotto. God, I love Massican wines when summer settles in. Full throttle with more presence/weight than expected. Savory notes of green herbs and distinct acid/tannin presence. Notes of lime/lemon/grapefruit…gains gravitas as it warms. Sublime summer sipper… with/ without food. Long, sexy finish.

The best Pinot Grigio in the US. Acidic, citrus, salinity - incredible food wine, had it with a spicy stir fry and it was amazing. Also great by itself on a hot day outside. Pick some up.

My goodness gracious. Buy this wine every year. Open a bottle for pregame on Thanksgiving and open a second during the meal. Guarantee they will be the first two bottles gone empty.

A gorgeous golden hue in the glass. Creamy vanilla, lemon peel, and delicate floral accents on the nose. This is a superstar. An intoxicating blend of Greco and Pinot Grigio, something I was wholly unfamiliar with. Clean, pure, and crisp. Focused, refined, elegant. This doesn’t feel like California to me. At all. Far too nuanced and ethereal. Fresh herbs appear on the mid palate, along with stone minerality. High acidity and such lively, bright fruit going on here. This is so incredibly pretty. Fresh peaches, apricots, Granny Smith apples, and honeydew are predominant on the palate with just a touch of caramel showing on the backend. Please do not drink this too cold, you want the fruit to shine. One of the prettiest wines I’ve had all year.
