Losonci 2017 Pinot Gris

[Brad Widelock]

If Jim Cowan were a Hungarian, this is the skin contact wine he would make. Full disclosure: I’m not a huge pinot gris fan, and when the owner of Tovino in San Francisco suggested this, I wasn’t expecting to like it. My wife is of Hungarian ancestry, so we are easy marks for their wines. I am glad we were taken in, because it was fabulous. It looked like Poulsard in the glass, and had a lovely tart cherry note, perfectly dry and not the least bit reductive. Definitely will buy more.

What is Tovino? You don't mean Tofino Wines, I'm guessing.

Yes. Thank you for the correction.
