A Little about The Company
- House Wine began its journey in 2004 with a simple goal in mind. They want to bring quality wines into your house at an affordable price.

Pinot Grigio Fact: The Pinot Grigio/Gris grape is almost the exact same as the Pinot Noir grape. The grapes differ because of a genetic mutation that likely happened hundreds of years ago. Now, the only way to spot the difference is to look closely at the leaves. Even the grape color is almost identical.
