Tasting Notes
Let’s put aside the fact that “Gris Diddly Dee” is an absolutely phenomenal phrase to say out loud. Try it. I’ll wait. It’s also a pretty stupendous juice to drink. It’s overloaded with sediment swirling around like grape-based confetti (my kind of confetti), and a murky guava-like shade that transforms to prismatic orange in the sunlight like a Tony The Tiger color-changing cereal spoon dunked in cold milk. Remember those?! This skin-contact pinot gris/pinot noir combo has an apricot-y, cherry lollipop flavor that reminds me of smoked cocktail maraschinos - syrupy-dark with a bite. There’s still plenty of acidic electricity here to balance out that deep sweetness, so uncork it on a rooftop with friends as your first bottle of the night. Then, soak up all of its sea-salted strawberry affection. Honestly, I say Gris-Diddly-Dee to that.
Pair With:
An outdoor hang during golden hour in mid-spring, warm and cool and full of the promise of summer. And, a giant ball of salty burrata, ready to lather up on whatever you’ve got - crackers, toasted ciabatta, some pizza, or even in-between an Oreo to prank your friend. Joke’s on you, because I’d probably try that on purpose.
Funk-o-Meter
It’ll take you to Funkytown. Nonstop flight, no layovers.
