Ogopogo's Lair Pinot Grigio
Okanagan Valley BC VQA
History:
OGOPOGO'S LAIR lies on the east side of Okanagan Lake, in the bend between Kelowna and the foot of the lake. According to legend, the lair is a cave under Squally Point near Rattlesnake Island where Ogopogo rests when not prowling the lake's water.
Tasting Notes:
Our 2008 unoaked Pinot Grigio displays a bouquet of bright, rich tropical fruit. Nuances of luscious peach and papaya linger for a rich, clean finish.
Food Pairing Notes:
Delicious and fruit-forward. This white is ideal for creamy pastas, baked foccacia, and dishes that are lightly spiced - oregano, basil, and rosemary pairings showcase the character of the wine.
