2009 Gray Monk Pinot Gris

Why do they spell it "Gray"? That's American spelling.

Maybe the label will explain. No.

The web site?

Actually, they sort of address it:

"Our name comes from one of the first grape varieties we produced - Pinot Gris. In Austria and Hungary, this grape is called ‘Grauar Mönch’ hence the translation to ‘Gray Monk’. The grape has a very distinctive blue-gray colored berry."

Doesn't explain the spelling exactly, but I'll move on.

I like this wine. It's a nice golden colour. And crisp, with grapefruit and lots of citrus. Having it tonight with homemade minestrone.

Fall is here.
