00The Avistelle is one of the best white wines we’ve ever had in the club. Not only was it awarded 91 points and a gold medal at the 2017 Critic’s Challenge, it is one of our all-time member favorites.

As usual, his meticulous attention to detail resulted in a delightful Pinot Gris with intriguing minerality, great body, and crisp acidity.
