Mister Flinch

TASTING NOTES:
Floral and vibrant on the nose. Look for flavors of citrus and grapefruit. Full and crisp on the palate. (AbV 14.1%, 52% Viognier 46% Pinot Grigio and 2% Gewurtztraminer)

BARRELS:
Stainless steel fermented and aged.

TANGENTIALLY RELATED FACT to help you make conversation over this wine:
So, I just kind of typed Mr. Finch into Google to see what came up. I thought it sounded like a familiar name, so maybe I can find where I knew it from. What I found instead were the incredible, fantastical, and somewhat eerie textile sculptures of Mister Finch, an English artist. Less of a fact, more of a thing that had me say, “Huh, neat.” Which I now share with you.

PAIRS WITH (winery recommended):
Arugula salad with shaved fennel and a lemon vinaigrette, grilled Sturgeon with beurre blanc, or a margherita pizza.

OR (really-going-with-the-theme-option):
Inspiration.
