Ruffino Lumina Pinot Grigio IGT, 2019: $24.95
What You Can Expect: This was a border line One & Done. The bolder of the flaors are overrun by the acidity and those damn gooseberries. More like a sauvignon Blanc to me. Way, way, overpriced for this quality.
Luna Nuda Pinot Grigio IGT Vigneti Delle Dolomiti, 2019: $15.95
What You Can Expect: Translation “naked moon,” happy thoughts right from the get go! An expressive pinot grigio, light and crisp with a nice aroma, smooth and flavorful.
$19.95 – Santa Margherita Pinot Grigio 2019
What you can Expect: There is a reason that this is consistently a top seller. Dry, yet fresh and fruity that is very easy to drink and pleases the palate, green apple, peach and citrus notes.
$15.00 – Collavini Pinot Grigio (Veneto)
What do I think: Light and crisp aromas of citrus and melon, dry and light-bodied, with a balanced finish. Serve well-chilled on its own, great starter on those hot days which have now left us! What the Experts say: Pale straw colour; citrus, light mineral and melon...
$17.00 – Masi Masianco Pinot Grigio 2018
What the Experts Say: Made using a blend of freshly-harvested pinot grigio and semi-dried verduzzo grapes. Enjoy aromas and flavours of ripe pear, citrus and apricot with mineral, nutty and honeyed notes. The wine is light and crisp with a clean finish. Serve with...
$13.95 – Bolla Pinot Grigio Delle Venezie
Certainly not one of my go to wines but when a friend brings one over I will try pretty much anything and this was another Pinot that was a pleasant pre-red surprise. What the Experts say: Pale straw; lemon and light peach aromas; dry, light-bodied palate with a...
$12.75 – Tommasi Le Rosse Pinot Grigio 2017
What the experts say: An aromatic pinot grigio with orange-blossom aroma and a juicy palate with fair depth and length. Drink now. What I think: I am again pleasantly surprised by the refreshing Le Rosse Pinot Grigio. Bright yellow in color, bold yet dry, with full...
$21.95 – Fontanafredda Gavi di Gavi 2018
What you can Expect: It is a bottle that you cannot walk by without noticing the intense deep yellow tint. It says “Take Me!” So I did. A few days later I went back for more! It is a smooth mouthful of yellow wildflowers. Well rounded flavors of tart apple, lemon...
$19.95 – Rotari Brut Rosé Sparkling 2014
What you can expect: A vibrant blend of Pinot Noir and Chardonnay. The racy palate offers pink grapefruit, orchard fruit and bitter almond, somewhat vivacious.
$16.05- Blu Giovello Prosecco
What do I think: When the bottle is better than its contents……very light, much to light for me. What the Experts say: The prosecco in the distinctive blue bottle. In the glass, this has bright aromas and flavours of lemon zest, ripe pear, kiwi and pineapple with...
$16.05 – Bottega 2017 Prosecco Vino Dei Poeti
This one’s almost always in my wine fridge. Made in the Charmat method, where the secondary fermentation takes place in stainless steel tanks, as opposed to in the bottle (traditional method), this Prosecco offers up notes of green apples and pears—there’s even a hint...
$19.95 – Santa Margherita Brut Val-dobbiadene Prosecco Superior
With Christmas coming you will not have enough of this around. Prosecco, that if you don’t know, you might think you are drinking Champagne! At $19.95 this must be the best value in bubbles. Light fruity flavours but rich and smooth going down.
$19.10 – Val d’Oca Processo DOGG
This is one Prosecco that you can drink every day!Golden colour, refreshing, medium body, full of flavours!
$59.95 – Bottega Gold Prosecco
Party Time: If this doesn’t get your party started nothing will! The sight of the sparkling gold monster bottle alone will put a smile on all your guests’ faces whether it is Christmas or in celebration of the New Year. As bright as the bottle it comes in, this is...
$17.75 – Tunuta S. Anna Prosecco Extra-Dry
Prosecco for Everyone? Of Course! A Canadian turkey treat (Canadian Thanksgiving was the occasion). Medium bodied, crisp and fruity. Fine textured bubbles with aromas of citrus, apple and pear.
$14.95 – Astoria Prosecco
What better way to spend a hot summer afternoon on the deck than with a chilled Prosecco out of a rather pretty bottle. Nice, light, dry with a fruity aroma – just all around enjoyable.
$15.95 – Antica Vigna Prosecco DOC Extra Dry
Every once in a while you come across a wine that you just can’t buy at the liquor store. I have been known to buy through private distributors – go figure. The only problem with that is that you generally need to buy an entire case. This was the case one night at a...
