Bonny Doon Vineyard Vin Gris De Cigare 2021 is great value at $20. A fresh and tasty vin gris blend of 79% Grenache 11% Cinsault 5% Grenache Gris and 5% White Grenache, this light pinkish-coral wine continues to intrigue. Produced from lightly pressed, mostly red grapes, the wine is fragrant, juicy and spicy with pink florals, melon, peach, red berry and lime zest flavours on the palate. Regarding flying Cigares label (or UFOs); In 1954 a village in Châteauneuf-du-Pape wisely adopted an ordinance prohibiting the landing of such spacecraft in local vineyards. The regulations have worked exceptionally well in discouraging alien landings :)

Food pairings: crab cakes, grilled chicken with olives, pork tenderloin.
