"These bottles are generally crowd-pleasers, and they pair well with a wide range of foods. And if you want more certainty that they're esteemed wines, they've also won one or several medals at wine competitions. Although countless delicious wines haven't received awards (that entails actually entering a competition), you can be certain that these bottles have received a seal of approval from plenty of wine professionals ... so your guests should be satisfied!"
"Oregon has been slowly making a name for itself as a pinot gris producer, after previously having less success with the grape. Dedicated winemakers are creating something pretty special, and it's certainly worthy of serving to your guests. Archery Summit is located in the Dundee Hills AVA in Oregon's Willamette Valley, a region well-known for its pinot noir. And while the winery does produce excellent wines with the variety, its Vireton Pinot Gris should not be skipped over."
