In an acrylic ice back, we packed in a hand selected bottle of Pinot Grigio, gourmet chocolates, crackers, and gourmet spread. It’s well balanced with refreshing flavors of Anjou pear, Fuji apples, and lemons that lead into a delicate, long finish. This refreshing wine should be enjoyed chilled and pairs well with hearty dinners or appetizers like parmesan risotto with roasted shrimp, mixed mushroom quiche, and crab cakes. Our Pinot Grigio Wine Gift Basket is great for BBQs!

Pinot grigio is a clone version of pinot gris grown in Italy. Pinot gris (or grauburgunder) is a white grape of the wine variety. This grape is thought to be a mistaken clone of pinot noir grapes. It carried a grayish-blue skin color while the flesh itself is typically a brownish-pink to black color and can sometimes be white. The term “gris” is French for grey and “pinot” is derived from the word pine cone. You are probably wondering how pine cones have anything to do with grapes and wines. It is believed that the word pinot was used to describe the small pine cone-shaped clusters the grapes grow in.
