FishEye Pinot Grigio
Do you like your pinot grigio soft, smooth with a hint of sweetness? If so, then you will adore FishEye Winery's Pinot Grigio.
FishEye winery is located in Griffith Australia. I can honestly say I have not tried many, if any Australian wines. After my first sip of this pinot grigio, I decided I needed to correct this mishap. I really, really enjoyed this wine. It smells of peach and tastes of tropical fruit. I would say it leans more toward the fruity flavor, than sweet. It's perfect for warm spring or summer days. What aids in it's beauty? It's suggested retail price of under $10 for 750ml (I received this as a sample for review). I definitely will be stocking up on this for weekend cookouts and dinner with friends.

2010 St. Innocent Pinot Gris
I have a confession, this was my first taste of Pinot Gris. Doesn't sound too odd to you? Maybe it's not that big of a deal, but anyone that watches Housewives of New York and considers herself a Ramona Singer fan, I feel should have taken at least a sip or 3 of a Pinot Grigio/Pinot Gris before this night. But alas, my Pinot Gris v-card has been stamped or taken or whatever happens to it.
Before I go to far into this, let's first talk answer a very important question: What is Pinot Grigio/Pinot Gris? Pinot Grigio is currently the most popular white wine produced in Italy. Most is dry with fruit flavors. They range from light to medium body. Pinot Grigio is the same grape as Pinot Gris, yet they are capable of producing a variety of white wines in a number of different winegrowing areas. The best Pinot Grigio is produced in the northern area of Italy, benefiting from the cooler climate. The Pinot Gris of Alsace and Oregon are wonderfully crisp as well, but are fuller bodied and more aromatic.
For this week I decided to try the Pinot Gris that was recently received from my wine club, 2010 St. Innocent Vitae Springs Vineyard Pinot Gris. I found this to be very soft, smooth, slightly dry. My drinking buddy wasn't a fan, but again he only goes for the super sweet ones. If you are not into sweet, but enjoy a white, light, easy drinking wine, I would definitely recommend this.
Pinot Gris done, now I need to try a Pinot Grigio!
