Wine by Design Adds New Wine to SF Giants Club Series Collection
New Pinot Gris from Cline Family Cellars Joins Lineup
Sonoma, CA, April 09, 2016 --(PR.com)-- Wine by Design is pleased to announce the release of the new San Francisco Giants Pinot Gris in partnership with Cline Family Cellars, a family-owned winery in the Carneros region of Sonoma County, California.
Wine by Design, the exclusive wine licensee of Major League Baseball (MLB), identified Cline Family Cellars as the perfect complement to the Giants Wine Collection. "Cline Pinot Gris joins the impressive line-up of Giants Mumm Napa and Wattle Creek wines," noted Diane Karle, CEO, Wine by Design. "Our goal is to continue to introduce amazing wines for the baseball fan." All Club Series wines are available now for purchase at select retailers and at the online MLB wine store.
“We are truly excited to join the MLB Club Series family,” said Cline Family Cellars winemaker Charlie Tsegeletos. “We set out to produce a Pinot Gris that would become a perennial hit with fans of both Cline and the San Francisco Giants. As a long time Giants fan I know they consistently deliver great baseball year after year, just as we deliver a great wine year after year with our Pinot Gris, so it was a terrific opportunity to create something special for Giants fans.
The new San Francisco Giants Pinot Gris is made from grapes grown on Cline’s estate vineyards located in the Sonoma Coast appellation. This cool growing location often has fog cover until late morning and yields grapes with great intensity and bright acidity. With flavors of pear, apple and citrus and no oak-aging, this white wine has enhanced fruit flavor and bright acidity making it the perfect pairing with grilled fish, curried chicken salad and a Giants game.
