![]() Best Dry White Wine Michigan Wine and Spirits Competition!
2006 Pinot Blanc, Island View Vineyard $18.00Now you know the Prodigal Pinot Noir absorbing all the glory, and the Grey Pilgrim Grigio moving about in the shadows, but Blanc. Now here's a swan story. I'll bet when the first Burgundian saw his precious Pinot Noir produce white clusters, he quietly cut them to the ground to avoid embarrassment. Sacre Bleu! But it kept happening. You see the sisters Pinot are so closely related that they all come from a mutation of one variety. Blanc was eventually propagated and merci Monsieur for that. This wine embodies all that is beautiful about wine. A pretty perfume, heady alcohol, full luscious fruit, and it is a great companion to most of the food you love. I'll take salmon with couscous - the food so nice they named it twice. Throw in some apple slices and blue cheese just make sure we give the French their due.
