Concannon Pinot Gris 2007

This California white has a somewhat higher alcohol content than your typical Italian Pinot Grigio. It lacks the sharp crispness associated with these, but for that comes up with a nice, rounded melon and citrus element, somehow reminiscent of a Chardonnay. The finish is even, and the sale price, $9.99, quite acceptable. If you're minded to try something out of the way, go for this.
