No. 5

Let's go back to Oregon for a moment for another one of my favourites at around $20. When Evolution was first released, it was released as "Evolution No. 9". That simple reason being, Evolution white is a blend of nine different varietals.

Those would be:

Pinot Gris
White Riesling
Muscat
Gewurtztraminer
Semillon
Chardonnay
Pinot Blanc
Sylvaner
Muller-Thurgau

The winemaker at Sokol Blosser has certainly refined this wine with time. In my opinion, this is a wine to drink young. In its youth, it displays a harmony that just about any beginning wine drinker will love. It is also a good "starter wine" if you want to introduce a family member or friend to wine.

This Dundee, Oregon, vineyard is one not to miss. And with a newer red and sparkling offering as well, you might have a Mimosa with breakfast, Evolution White with a salad and soup at lunch and Evolution Red with your evening meal. Cheers!
