Winemaker Dan O’Brien grew up in Providence and cut his teeth in Boston as a sommelier at some of the city’s best restaurants. He moved to California to take the plunge into winemaking. His “Doris” line of table wines are named for his great aunt (Gail was his mother) and, while they may seem humble in intent, are every bit as delicious as his more “serious” wines. 100% Pinot Grigio, this is inspired by the wines of Friuli, where Pinot Grigio can carry real depth, texture, and character, we treat it with the same intent we would any serious white variety. Aromatically, it leans savory, with notes of sappy pine needle, plump citrus, and a subtle herbal lift. The palate is juicy but clean, with enough weight to feel generous while staying bright and precise.
