Terry post:Summer Wine Series
We carried the Esperto Pinot Grigio at Restaurant 213 from the grand opening onward and it is still on the wine list today. It has been a steady seller popular with those who prefer a dry white wine with floral characteristics.
My impressions: Pale, diluted straw-color in the glass. Faint floral note when first poured opening slightly to citrus as the wine warmed. Moderate bodied and dry. Not nearly as fruity as I have experienced with other Italian Pinot Grigios - more American in style. Recommended.
Good acidity. Food friendly. I paired the wine with a Watermelon-Feta Cheese salad - and it was perfection.
Imported by Moet Hennessy USA. 13% alcohol.
$13 at retail.
