Several months ago, I had the great chance of meeting a very import person at Santa Margherita and I have some great ideas for marketing their wines, but the thing was, I had never had any one of them. Most interestingly, that day I found out that their Pinot Grigio is the number one SKU in the US for this varietal.

Now, as I am gently sampling this wine, I can discern tastes of green apples and peaches. I am sure that there are some other things that I am not picking up, but it is very gentle on the palate. In the beginning -- hey hey, I like that -- you get instant acidity, not too strong but well balanced, which then levels off dramatically and gives you something to caress your palate like silk layering on your skin.

I have had Pinot Grigios that were bland and cheap, and I have had ones that had some over the top acidity, this one is different. While I do like the more pear aspects of this varietal, this wine probably is one of the best mates for seafood and chicken, which when it comes down to it, matters most to people, which is why it is number one in the US of this varietal.
