Amazing wine amazing service

I tried this wine the Pinot Gris at Zefferelli’s on Robson st. It’s light crisp and fruity with hints of apple. It paired great with my food and decided to buy some for my home. It’s a great with food or I recently found out that I love it on its own too. I had a party the other day and all my guests were super impressed. . 3 of my guests joined their wine club. I feel like I work for the winery telling so many people how delicious there wines are. Since that party I tried their Gamay which a red that could be chilled to drink on these hot summer days. Good job guys
