Firesteed Pinot Grigio
Oregon Pinot Gris and Pinot Noir, poured plain and honest.
The story behind Firesteed
Pinot Gris and Pinot Grigio are the same grape, and the difference is mostly style. Oregon picks it a touch riper than northeast Italy, so the wine lands rounder and softer, with pear, apple and a clean mineral finish instead of a lean, snappy edge. It stays dry and food friendly either way.
We keep Firesteed in the Pinot Grigio section here in Commack, one to two bottles at a time. Call ahead and we will hold one at the counter for you.

Which Firesteed is right for you?
Both Firesteed bottles are $14.99, which is fair money for Oregon fruit at this weight. The Pinot Gris drinks clean and dry, the Pinot Noir stays light and bright. Stock is thin on both, so if you want a bottle set aside, call the store at (631) 343-7200 and we will check the shelf.
Dry and soft, easy with fish, chicken or a plain cheese plate.
Bright cherry and low tannin, good chilled slightly with dinner.
Firesteed cocktails and pairings
Keep the Gris cold with lighter food and the Noir cool with almost anything off the grill.
