Adelsheim ’07 pinot gris in the S. Carolina Low Country

Even though I’m on holiday in South Carolina, I’m still finding time to do a bit of winetasting in between golf and beach. Yesterday we went to a fabulous place called Palmetto Bluff, hung around the pool there and drank mojito noirs (mojitos made with dark rum) all day.

I’m staying with my friend Debra and she loves the restaurant at the Inn at Palmetto Bluff so you can guess where  we went for dinner. Deb is not a wine buff but she knows what she likes and on the advice of the female sommelier there, we had the Adelsheim 2007 pinot gris from the Willamette Valley, Oregon. The Adelsheim’s are devoted to sustainable viticultural practices and aim to produce handcrafted elegant wines. Just a short vid with my off the cuff remarks. It’s very casual here in the South, we went straight from the pool to the dinner table so I’m still in my beach togs…

  1. Wine and Golf a perfect combination

    • Isn’t it though, just be sure to do it in the opposite order otherwise you’re golf score will definitely suffer! 🙂
