HERE’S HOW THE CHAT WENT:
There’s a lot of Pinot Gris in BC and it is a hot seller! This week’s #BCWineChat we will discuss anything you want to about the variety including who’s making it (or easier to do is to discuss who’s NOT making it), pricing, food pairings with it, what flavour profiles it has in various locations in BC and anything else you choose.
It’s an “all Gris all the time” kind of chat.
