Elouan Chardonnay 2018
Willamette Valley, Oregon $18

Pale gold in color, the nose is full of apple, citrus, and honeysuckle aromas. On the zesty palate, hints of honey, passion fruit and peaches come together. There’s a bit of oak throughout this medium-body, fruit forward example of Oregon winemaking. A good match for seafood dishes, chicken and pork.

Willamette Valley Pinot Gris 2018
Willamette Valley, Oregon $16

Nectarine, tangerine and lime hints on the nose, with green apple, lychee and honeydew flavors in the mouth. Balanced and fruity, with refreshing acidity and a crisp, tart extended finish. The Pinot Gris grape is drier, with more body than Pinot Grigio, and it goes well with salads, seafood, and Asian dishes. Earned a 90 point rating from Wine Enthusiast.
