In light of this incredibly gorgeous, blue skied, 80 degree April day we had in the Willamette Valley today, I decided to pop the cork on a bottle of wine I received in one of my wine club releases from King Estate: 2011 Backbone Pinot Gris.
The Frugal Wino: 2011 Chehalem Inox Chardonnay
As my exposure to wine - especially from the Pacific Northwest - gets greater and greater, my excitement about finding new wines and wineries grows. I'm always on the hunt for new wines to try, and love it when I find one that is totally new to me - what a fun challenge to tackle!
