Oddly enough, this is the first time that I have entered a wine reviews on Chateau Ste Michelle wines, though I have had at least six of their offerings.

While I have been on a Pinot Gris binge lately, this wine is ample, but not one of my favorites. It just has a little too much sharp citrus/acid for me, but otherwise has nice melon character. Others with different styles of taste might find this more enjoyable, and those preferring drier wines should stay away.

We believe in finding something that you like the taste of, outside of the basic brands that you have been force-fed over the years through a combination of ethnically targeted advertising, and what people in your family have historically been drinking.
