The Niagara Chapter's Pinot Gris - Pinot Grigio Tasting At Fielding Estate Winery, 4020 Locust Lane, Beamsville
|
Pinot Gris? Pinot Grigio? What's the difference? Is there a difference? Come on out to Fielding Estate Winery and find out as we sort out all the confusion. This light summer wine's appearance at this tasting couldn't have be better timing with the recent heat.
Join us as Adam Pearce, Assistant Winemaker at Fielding, leads us through the tasting and explains some of the history of the Pinot Gris/Grigio grape. We'll have local samples of Pinot Gris and Pinot Grigio to taste, and we'll have some from around the world, including Italy and France to use for comparison.
Fielding Estate is a small family enterprise crafting wines from the amazing varietals grown in the Beamsville terroir. This picturesque winery was founded in 2005 by owners Ken & Marg Fielding, and is run by son Curtis Fielding (General Manager) and his wife Heidi Fielding (Hospitality Manager).
Winemaker, Ray Cornell, with the help of Adam Pearce, produces only small batches of wine to ensure extraordinary quality in each and every bottle. Whites feature Chardonnay, Riesling, Sauvignon Blanc and Pinot Gris. You'll enjoy sampling their 2006 Pinot Gris at this event. The description given of this wine is as follows:
Pale in colour, delicately fragrant and mildly floral with lemon-citrus flavours along with traces of pear. This off-dry Pinot Gris is bursting with juicy flavours on the palate accompanied by beautiful, crisp acidity.
Come out and see how it compares to the other wines that will be offered as part of this tasting. Stay afterwards for great snacks and mingling. We hope to see you there for this fun summer event in wine country.
