I’ll admit it, Stoney Ridge has been off my radar for a few years; ever since I walked in and the woman behind the counter informed me that the decanted Pinot Grigio (?) she was serving, which was clearly oxidized beyond belief was actually “the house style” … goodbye. Fast forward to new ownership (again) and new winemaker (Jeff Hundertmark) and you have a new lease on life at the winery. This Grigio is a great start with lots of pear, peach and apple notes all backed by a zippy lime zest to keep it dry where it counts and it has kept a pile of acidity. Seems to be a cross of Gris / Grigio styles with plenty of citrus and bosc pear skin on the long finish. Price: $13.95 – Rating: ****
