Pinot Grigio/Gris

Pinot Grigio is light, crisp, and simple to the taste. When you drink it, you may think of pear, spice cake, arugula, and peach skins. Pair Pinot Grigio with delicately flavored fish or seafood.

White Zinfandel

Moscato

Red Wines

Cabernet Sauvignon

Cabs are high in tannin and invoke the flavors of blackberry, black currant, cassis, eucalyptus, cedarwood, leather, and plum. Cabs taste excellent with steak and lamb.
