Jennifer Havers rated this wine as 91/100 with the following review:

Love when a wine pulls double duty - to be refreshing and tasty, along with supporting a good cause. This wine made by Queenston Mile, gives back 5% of their revenue to environmental causes, such as the restoration of wild oyster beds. Light and refreshing, this wine has hints of lemon, saline and minerality, making it perfect to enjoy with any sustainable seafood dishes. Enjoy and #cheerstochange
Paula Bernardino rated this wine as 95/100 with the following review:

A fantastic Pinot Gris from Queenston Mile Vineyards in Niagara-on-the-Lake. The Proud Pour wines share the mission in healing the ecosystems that sustain their product. Always sustainably grown and vegan, this Pinot Gris supports environment nonprofits in Canada. To celebrate and protect our oceans, this vegan Pinot Gris helps fund wild oyster reef restoration. This wine is fermented and aged in stainless steel. Beautiful yellow colour in the glass. Aromas and flavours of fruits such as melon, apple, pear and white peach with a saline and mineral finish. I paired it with beef tartare and roasted fingerlings potatoes with spicy mayonnaise. Beautiful creative label. 11.2% alcohol. VQA wine. Available at the LCBO (LCBO VINTAGES#: 17181) at $17.95. UPC: 43006 00016

Did you know we've lost 85% of our wild oyster reefs? Like coral, wild oyster reefs are a critical habitat, and a single oyster cleans 30 gallons of water per day! Proud Pour gives back 5% of top-line revenue to Canada's 20+ environmental nonprofit partners.

Unquenchable by Natalie MacLean

Natalie MacLean is a new force in the wine writing world ‐ a feisty North American answer to Hugh Johnson and Jancis Robinson. She can write beautifully about wine.

The Financial Times of London

There are very few people in the wine world who "get it" and Natalie is one of those who brings more fun to a buttoned-up and stodgy game.
