Best Buy! Hal Landvoigt and his team at Precept Wine in Seattle created this brand for Total Wine & More. While the fanciful bee-themed labels in blue or pink (on shelves as Pinot Grigio) seem to appeal to women, what’s in the screwcapped bottle deserves a wider audience. Enticing aromas of guava, apricot jam, butterscotch and Corn Pops breakfast cereal transition into a rich entry of pear and Jonagold apple. Its structure floats on the palate, and the residual sugar (3%) is dealt with by a lime-like acidity that makes for a gorgeous and long finish with a return of apple.
Rating: Excellent
Production: 1,690 cases

This is my most favorite wine. My friend and I sampled it while in Vegas at a Total Wine and I can not get it again any where near me. Can i get it shipped to me? I’m not planning on being near Vegas again until November again next year and we’d really like it for our New Years celebration.
Greetings, Aimee.
Our panels haven’t seen those B. Lovely wines for some time, so I appreciate you taking the time to place it on my radar again.
That brand is indeed an ongoing collaboration between Seattle-based Precept Wine and Total Wine & More.
Alas, I have some sad news for you. A friend of mine at Precept informed me today — “unfortunately, the Pinot Gris SKU has been discontinued.”
You might consider trying the B. Lovely Gewürz as an alternative and see if you enjoy that.
Sincerely,
Eric
