What do you pair with a light, refreshing, Asian influenced delicious smashed cucumber salad? Riesling my friend, riesling.
Where would we be eating delicious teriyaki salmon toast with family/friends without a good wine to accompany it. This dish screams drinks and snacks amongst friends and for me, Rosé wine does that too!
Take 300 grams of goats cheese - a soft, creamy version. You can use an ash coated cheese or non-ashed.
Considerably cooler than the surrounding plains, the hills are washed in rain during winter months, and the peaks wrapped in fog.
Pinot Gris is a white wine grape variety of the species Vitis vinifera. Thought to be a mutant clone of the Pinot Noir grape, it normally has a grayish-blue fruit, accounting for its name ("gris" meaning "grey" in French) but the grape can have a brownish pink to black and even white appearance. The word "Pinot", which means "pinecone" in French, could have been given to it because the grapes grow in small pinecone-shaped clusters.
The wines produced from this grape also vary in colour from a deep golden yellow to copper and even a light shade of pink, and it is one of the more popular grapes for orange wine.
The clone of Pinot Gris grown in Italy is known as Pinot Grigio.
In Australia
Pinot Gris was first introduced into Australia in 1832 in the collection of grapes brought by James Busby. In Victoria, wines from the grape are labeled both Pinot Gris and Pinot Grigio,
