Variety Pinot Grigio
Country: Italy
Year: 2009
Price: $5.95
Review: In 2005, our wine buyer brought a revolutionary new wine to our wine tasting panel. It was an Italian Pinot Grigio. Nothing revolutionary there, we know. This Italian Pinot Grigio, though, had bubbles! That’s right, a sparkling Pinot Grigio. More specifically, Contadino Pinot Grigio Vivace. We’ll be honest; many on our tasting panel weren’t initially convinced there was a market for a sparkling Pinot Grigio. Luckily, the “yeas’ eventually won out over the “nays,” and as far as we can tell, in September of 2005 we became the first retailer in America to sell a sparkling Pinot Grigio.
My Review: This wine was very crisp. The bubbles were nice and they were not overpowering. It had light citrus flavors on the nose. I had this wine with smoked gouda cheese, and the crispness of the wine seemed to pair well with the fattiness of the cheese. I enjoyed this wine.
