North Carolina Wine TV Review:
The Childress Trio is not only a very well made wine, but gains interest and complexity from its blend of Chardonnay, Viognier, and Pinot Gris. The nose battles back and forth with apple and pear working to punch through the tropical scents of pineapple and melon. Equally complex on the mouth feel, this wine shows great body. It has good initial acidity, but could have been improved by a little bit more. Tropical flavors as well as apricots dominate the palate. This is a wine well worth trying for its complexity and flavor profile.
Rating: 
according to the North Carolina Wine Ratings Scale
Price: $15
Availability: Directly from the winery and in limited distribution at restaurants in the area.

I’m glad you reviewed the Childress Vineyards Trio! It is by far one of my favorite NC wines, especially in the summertime when you just want something light and easy on the tongue. I’m one of Childress’ Fast Track Wine Club members, so I’ll be watching closely for more of Childress Vineyards on NC Wine TV!
Ashely,
