After quaffing a Rioja as an opener and warming up a bit in the cool Santa Monica lunchtime breeze, my visit to The Lobster turned toward more appropriate fare. Ordering clam chowder and the sea scallop dish that always turns my head there, I asked for an Oregon Pinot Gris.
The King Estate wine is $9 by the glass and a light straw color. The nose shows some green apple and citrus, and the freshness is obvious on the first whiff.
Zippy, fresh citrus flavors dominate the palate with a peach note coming forward. The acidity is quite nice and a fairly good minerality lasts beyond the finish. It's a good match for the chowder and the scallops.
