The Pinot Grigio You Run To!

Hello Foodies,

Pinot Grigio has been hiding in plain sight for years now. All over northern Italy winemakers churn out zillions of gallons of light-colored, aromatically neutral, crisply nondescript wines to satisfy an army of unquenchably thirsty palates. And the farmers want to know why people want bland Pinot Grigio! It's the only explanation to give for why an otherwise interesting variety is routinely harvested before it has reached the level of ripeness required to invest it with the same luxuriant charms that Pinot Gris routinely produces in Alsace.

This Italian Pinot abuse has kept us running away from this wine for years but not any more. Now you can buy a tasty Pinot Grigio at Vino for $15 that certainly competes with other Italian whites-Verdicchio, Erbaluce, Falanghina and Friulano. Visit Vino Fine Wine and Spirits at 121 East 27th Street, New York, NY 10016.

Enjoy,

the Forks
