Brassfield Estate Pinot Gris, 2023, Lake County, CA

The Brassfield Estate 2023 Pinot Gris ($22.99) is an estate-grown, single-vineyard white wine cultivated at the high-altitude High Serenity Ranch in Lake County's High Valley AVA. Awarded 93 points by Wine Enthusiast, it features bright acidity, sparkling minerality, and tasting notes of Bartlett pear, bergamot, and honeyed green apple.

• Seafood & Shellfish: Pairs beautifully with pan-seared cod, grilled halibut, shrimp scampi, and fresh oysters. The crisp acidity cuts through the sweetness of the seafood.
• Light Poultry & Tofu: Complements baked tofu with ginger-soy glaze or lemon-herb roasted chicken breast.
• Fresh Salads & Starters: Matches perfectly with a prosciutto and melon salad, goat cheese crostini, or mixed greens dressed in a bright citrus vinaigrette.
• Mild Spicy Cuisine: Balances the gentle heat of Thai green curry, Vietnamese spring rolls, or mild sushi rolls, as the wine's honeyed pear notes soothe spicy accents.
