Divergence, 2021 Pinot Gris
The Flyers are not expected to be a top team this year. There is a lot of youth in the line-up and the team is officially in a rebuild.
Head coach John Tortorella might be the most entertaining reason to watch a Flyers game this year from a hockey perspective. He demands a lot out of his players and expects that they play with a veracity that makes the lives of an opponent miserable. Aside from getting to see AHL style scrappy hockey, there aren’t a lot of good reasons to get excited for the Philadelphia Flyers this year which is why this pairing is very important!
Divergence 2021 Pinot Gris is a wine that can pair with almost anything so be sure to try it out with food pairings you might not normally think of …. Philly Cheese Steak sandwich anyone?
Overall this pairing will give you something to look forward to when the Flyers are on the ice.
Wine Description
his wine was made with varietal expression in mind and offers a bit more weight and complexity than the light bodied wines the grape is known for. Pristine fruit, a long, cool fermentation, and fine lees contact help to build a textured and fruit-driven wine.
Soft but still refreshing, the wine is easily enjoyed with a variety of food options or on its own to enjoy the additional aromas and complexity that develop in the glass.
