2006 Benton Lane Pinot Gris

I started drinking Santa Margherita Pinot Grigio, but Benton Lane Winery in Williamette Valley has a very good Pinot Gris as well. I purchased 2 bottles from Paul's of Chevy Chase in Washington DC during a Friday night wine tasting. This wine is excellent. Pale straw color, very crisp, nice pear aroma, apple flavors, with a fruity finish.
We enjoyed the 2006 Benton Lane Pinot Gris for lunch with a pan-seared swordfish sandwich (seasoned with sea salt, pepper, garlic salt, season all) on a ciabatta roll with fresh arugula and mayonnaise with fresh lemon juice.The presentation was wonderful...My wife thought she was having lunch in a fancy restaurant...I earned a few points on that lunch.
