Our take
What we make of this bottle
Pinot Grigio and Pinot Gris are two names for a single white grape, and the spelling on the label often signals a style choice rather than a different vine. Official guides list flavors like pear, apple and citrus, and a sweetness that can run from dry to gently off-dry, with the Grigio spelling leaning toward the lighter, crisper end. If you want that lighter, crisper style the guides describe, the Grigio label points that way. By Bogle's account, the family's grape-growing dates to 1968, and the first wine under the family name followed in 1978, a company history rather than a note about this bottle.
A perfect score can read like a final word, yet here it rests on very little to weigh. One person's mark says that person was pleased, not how the wine lands for a table of guests. In our September 2026 checks the price landed between $10.99 and $14.99. The store listing shows 1 ratings so far. The average is 5 out of five.
Bogle's fact sheet for the current vintage adds the numbers this record does not otherwise carry: 11 percent alcohol, a pH of 3.21, and total acidity of 0.60 grams per 100 millilitres, from grapes grown in Clarksburg and Lodi and fermented entirely in stainless steel, with no time in oak. The producer states the bottle is certified under California's Green Sustainable Winegrowing rules and is vegan-friendly and gluten-free. Bogle's own tasting language runs slightly differently in the two places it publishes it: the product page calls the wine 'crisp with fresh notes of citrus, stone fruits and melon,' while the fact sheet describes 'bright citrus, lime zest and crisp Asian pear' with a touch of 'crushed seashell'; both are the producer's own words for the same 2024 vintage, just worded differently from one page to the other.
Our call: this suits a shopper who wants a stainless-steel, unoaked Pinot Grigio with named vineyard sourcing and sustainability certification, all confirmed in the producer's own numbers rather than left blank. Pass if a single rating is not enough for you: the one score on record is one shopper's read, and the producer's own tasting language even shifts slightly between its product page and its fact sheet, a small reminder that even the maker's account is not perfectly uniform.

Research status
What we are still checking
Our overview above draws on the dated store feed, shopper ratings, our region and grape research, and any sourced producer facts. We are still working to confirm the current release, the full producer record, and the bottle itself, and we update this page as we learn more.
Getting to know California.
California on the label is useful provenance but weak detail about place. For these wines, sourcing disclosure, blend construction and house-style consistency carry more decision value than a generic climate paragraph.
What the name means
A state-level appellation, broader than an individual American Viticultural Area. It permits a multi-region blend and does not by itself identify one climate or soil.
How grapes grow here
The state spans cool maritime zones and hot inland valleys. A California designation alone does not reveal which conditions shaped the fruit.
What lies under the vines
At state scale, sourcing and house-style construction matter more than any single soil story.
How large the region is
- Reusable question
- Which counties or AVAs supplied the blend, and did that mix change by release?
Places within the region
- Resolution limit
- County, AVA and vineyard claims begin only when the release names them.
Getting to know Pinot Grigio.
Pinot Gris and Pinot Grigio are two names for the same white grape. The label wording often signals a style choice, but it does not create a different grape.
Category guide
What to expect in the glass
Pinot Grigio is often used for a lighter, crisper style, while Pinot Gris can point to more body and texture. Official guides describe pear, apple, citrus and stone fruit, with sweetness ranging from dry to gently off-dry.
