We’re half way through the month;\u00a015 days down, 15\u00a0more to go! To celebrate our half way marker (and to go with dinner) we opened up a bottle of the Olde Mill<\/a> Silver Pines white wine. \u00a0This white wine is mostly a Pinot Gris, so we decided to pair it with a stuffed pork chop and\u00a0roasted potatoes. \u00a0The flavors balanced nicely off each other and made for a nice light meal.<\/p>\n

As we poured the wine in the decanter, the deep golden color splashed around and took in some air. \u00a0There are notes of lychee, pears and candied pineapple. \u00a0Fresh pineapple carries through to the first burst of flavor. \u00a0The tropical notes linger for a bit and slowly fade into a pleasantly light acidic finish. \u00a0Toward the end, there are traces of Meyer lemons and light citrus fruits.<\/p>\n

This delightful white wine paired perfectly with the stuffed pork chops. \u00a0You could also pair it with a hearty grilled fish (much like a swordfish or wah-hoo) or even a roasted chicken. \u00a0This wine, neither delicate nor overly dramatic is really a great wine to pair with most meals (a Hawaiian pizza would be fantastic).<\/p>\n

Sadly, Olde Mill has closed its doors. \u00a0We wish them the best in their future endeavors and hope that one day the wine bug will get fired up again.<\/p>\n
