Our selection criteria include:

Each year since its 2005 launch, FishEye Winery has been named a Rising Star with Adam’s Beverage Dynamics and also a HOT BRAND by Market Watch. We were first introduced to FishEye during the Live Wine Blogging segment of last summer’s Wine Bloggers Conference. I was pleasantly surprised by this FishEye Pinot Grigio. It is very crisp and refreshing.
“FishEye is the type of wine that works well for a summer barbecue or as an everyday wine for the house. It’s a fun, quality wine that delivers intense flavor at a great price, making it an excellent choice for the everyday or casual wine drinker.†–Winemaker Jim McDonald
