Pinot-Blanc-225x300.jpeg

Pinot Blanc from Oregon and Alsace.

Spring is about to bloom (I hope), and this is a time of year that I tend to transition from the fuller-bodied reds of winter to lighter style white wines that are more suitable to the foods we consume in the warmer months.

What I love about wine — among the most obvious sensory pleasures it provides — is the diversity of experiences it offers to us if we are adventuresome.
