Chris Baker Willamette Valley Pinot Gris 2021
Market Price
To show you the value you're getting as an Angel...
We regularly benchmark a selection of our wines against up to three comparable wines on the market. The Market Price is based on the price of those wines.
What do we mean by benchmark? We taste them blind against our own wines, or we use our market knowledge (over 40 years between us) to set an industry standard Market Price.
If you buy one of our wines and disagree with the Market Price, or it's not your cup of tea, we'll add a credit to your account. For more info, see our FAQS.

About the wine
This classy Oregon Pinot Gris is your introduction to the US wine region where the world's top sommeliers head for their wines
-
Angel funding helped Chris select high-quality Pinot Gris from his choice of 5 vineyards across Oregon’s famed Willamette Valley, to capture the signature crisp, zingy character and fruity complexity of this regional classic.
-
Compared to California, Oregon’s wineries are modest, mom and pop run affairs, yet their small-scale boutique wines have won world fame, and sell for top dollar in Michelin-starred restaurants everywhere. But Chris makes them for us at Angel prices.
-
It’s bursting with lively fruit flavours from white peach to melon, and a seriously crisp, refreshing finish. US Angels love this stuff so much that it took us 4 years to smuggle a batch out. If you love it as much as we think, we’ll get Chris to go long on the next vintage, we don’t want to wait another 4 years...
Best before
It is ready to drink now, so enjoy. My rule of thumb is about 4 to 6 years for a white, but this one is so good it will not last a couple months without ordering more.
Serving advice
Chill, open, and enjoy. If you usually chill your whites really cold, I recommend allowing a glass or 2 to warm a bit before trying it. This allows the wine to open up and all the aromas to shine. It is an easy drinker on its own, but also has enough structure to pair with almost any food. If you open it while you are cooking, you may want to have a second bottle in the fridge because it may not make it to dinner otherwise.
Food match
Boiled fresh caught Dungeness crab, or local pan fried razor clams would be at the top of the list, but this wine would go with almost anything. Roasted fresh picked beet salad, or spicy Thai food are on the daily menu as well.
