Villa Sandi, Pinto Grigio Veneto, Italy $19
Pinot Grigio is a white wine varietal grown from grayish-blue grapes. These grapes produce deep golden yellow to copper colors and can even be produced as a very light shade of pink. Bright straw yellow in color with fragrant aromas of classic pear and apple layered with hints of pineapple and flowers. Dry and round on the palate, with a well-balanced and long finish.
Gard, “Frejya” White Blend Columbia Valley, Washington $21
Freyja is named in honor of the Norwegian goddess of love and is also a nod to the family's Scandinavian roots. It’s a great showcase of what a good winemaker can do with these varietals in Washington State. Boasting scintillating notes of roasted pear, white tea, white peach, dried mint, crushed stone, and sweet baking spice
74% Viognier, 22% Roussanne, 4% Muscadelle
Broc Cellars, “Got Grapes” Cortese Clarksburg California $24
This wine is 100% Cortese, and it's Broc's first time working with this varietal not commonly found outside of Italy. The bright salinity is a special characteristic imparted from the Lost Slough Vineyard in Clarksburg, where rich sandy soil teems with seashells and minerals.
Whole clusters were foot stomped and then pressed to stainless tank to naturally ferment and age for 5 months. This wine was left unfiltered and unfined. Notes of fresh pear, spearmint on the nose, and salted green melon on the palate.
