It is so hard to pick a favourite wine at 40 Knots. Everything I've tried thus far is so delicious, but I LOVE the creaminess and big bold flavour of the Pinot Gris. I have to admit several others are very close in this race but i keep coming back to Pinot Gris.

What could be better than sipping a chilled glass of 40 Knots Pinot Gris on a hot summer's night in the Comox Valley? My favourite white - crisp, clean and refreshing.

One of my top contenders from 40 Knots like another reviewer. I always keep some handy as it never disappoints.

Love visiting 49 Knotts. Staff are helpful and fun. Pinot Gris was light and crisp. Very enjoyable for sipping on it’s own or with a meal.

I've bought more of the Pinot Gris this year than in other years. We enjoyed it with chicken curry, dragon bowl and fish dinners. With citrus hints, it complements well. As warmer weather approaches I look forward to sipping it on the beach during Happy Hour.

Very crisp, bold and no after taste. Loved it! I like it very chilled. Definitely will buy again
