Friday Tasting: Italian Wine w/ Kyle & VA Craft Beer

Kris 2024 Pinot Grigio (91 pts, James Suckling) – “There’s an enticing shadow of pink color in the glass, typical of pinot grigio. The aromas and flavors are in the baked-apple, pear-drop and table-grape fruit zone, together with a stony note that turns denser and provides a silky, grainy mouthfeel on the fullish-bodied palate. Nicely placed acidity keeps it all fresh and gives a bright fruit and mineral finish. Enjoy now. Screw cap.” BUY NOW
