Forrest Gump Pinot Gris 2022

A major box-office success, Forrest Gump went on to win seven Academy Awards (including Best Picture) and has become a cinema classic. We’re honoring this heartwarming film with Forrest Gump Pinot Gris.

This vibrant white wine hails from Washington State. No matter which style of wine you like, “Washington can deliver pure fruit flavors and distinctive character at prices that won’t break the bank,” reports Wine Spectator. That’s especially true in the Columbia Valley, the state’s largest and most prized wine appellation.

With its low rainfall and temperature variations (cold nights and warm, sunny days), the Columbia Valley is ideal for producing wines that offer bold-yet-balanced fruit flavors. Fun fact: it shares its latitude with France’s famed Bordeaux region, so it may come as no surprise that it yields such great wines. The grapes for this lovely Pinot Gris come from Wahluke Slope, a premium enclave of the Columbia Valley known for its exceptional-quality fruit.

Elegantly bright, Forrest Gump Pinot Gris offers expressive floral and lemon notes. If you’re a fan of the film, you can probably guess its perfect pairing—shrimp, of course! “You can barbecue it, boil it, broil it, bake it, sauté it...”

We have limited cases of Forrest Gump Pinot Gris to share—run to secure yours.
