Michelle on Rod Easthope Hawkes Bay Pinot Gris 2019

Rod, you’ve done it again!!! Pinot Gris and roses are my summer go-tos, and as always, yours is my absolute favorite!! This wine has such lovely fruit flavor and that sense of salt spray at the end. I recommend this wine to anyone who enjoys dry white wines with flavor! Thank you so much for making this wine for me!!!

Michelle on Eponina Lush California Demi Sec NV

Update: September 22, 2016: I saved a bottle for my birthday, which I celebrated one day late. And I didn't share. In the glass it shows a hint of pink. On the nose I found a floral apricot, and in the mouth, it retains the amazing peach flavor I loved upon release but seems softer, and the yeast flavor has almost completely integrated. It paired beautifully with my entire breakfast, but most especially the bacon and the caramel coffee cake that I indulged in! I can hardly wait until you bring us more this year, Wayne! Thank you for making such a treat for us!! Original review (November 2015): Wonderfully lush sparkling wine. What a beautiful treat this is: full of peach and apricot with a hint of yeast and lovely tiny bubbles. I could sip this all day! I love how soft it feels in the mouth. I started cooking for Thanksgiving early in the morning and decided to finally have some breakfast around 10:45. I popped open the Eponina Lush, poured myself a glass, and cooked some curried scrambled eggs, then sat down to enjoy my breakfast. I don't think I could have paired this better! The softness of the eggs enhanced the softness of the wine, and the Indian curry spices made the stone fruit flavors explode in the mouth. Soft, fruity, and light. It's possibly the best sparkling wine I've ever tasted! Thank you Wayne for a delicious Thanksgiving treat!

Michelle on Scott Kelley Pinot Noir Oregon 2014

Wow! I absolutely love this wine. Before Naked Wines I found Pinot Noir to be light and watered down. This Pinot has turned my opinions on their heads. It has a wonderful freshness with beautiful cherry and blueberry flavors. On the back of the tongue is a wonderful flavor reminiscent perhaps of vanilla and cinnamon. The finish is smooth and fruity with a sensation of raspberry. I am in love with a Pinot Noir, with its fruit and freshness, like a mouthful of homemade jam. I'm getting more!

Michelle on Chris Baker Willamette Valley Pinot Gris 2019

Hi Chris from a fellow PNWer!! I’m a huge fan of Oregon wines, and this Pinot Gris is one reason why. It’s light and dry—the perfect summer sipper, but it has enough body to stand up to an Asian chicken salad. Thank you!!!!
