Gabbiano Pinot Grigio

Here is another great Italian Pinot Grigio that we love. It is a light and crisp wine, perfect to serve with chicken, seafood or pasta.

As Taken From The Gabbiano Wines WebSite:

"Floral notes caress the nose, with nuances of pear and honeydew melon."

I think it sells for around $7.00. A real bargain for the taste.

Ecco Domani - Another great Pinot Grigio

I discoved this light Pinot Grigiot also at my local H.E.B market. It is a decent priced wine: I picked it up for $9.99. A nice price for a nice wine. My husband and I like to drink it with a nice sharp cheddar with crackers. Makes a yummy pre-dinner snack.

As Taken From The Ecco Domani Website:
"This wine has a clear, straw yellow color, with light golden reflections. A low concentration of surmaturo grapes gives the wine tropical fruit notes that make the vintage truly unique. The wine possesses pleasant floral and tropical fruit aromas, and has a light, crisp, clean and refreshing flavor, with fruit character and refined elegance."

I didn't think I liked "RED WINES"

Hard by the sandy shores of the Sacramento-San Joaquin River delta, the agricultural town of Lodi is home to a lot of old Zinfandel vines. It's considered a warm region, but its location, directly in line with the Golden Gate, brings daily afternoon breezes that soften the summer temperatures. Combine this with ancient vines in alluvial soil where roots grow very deep, and you've got a formula for ripe, lush Zin that's also concentrated and intense. Soft, round, spicy and jammy with voluptuous overtones of plums and blueberries, this wine lives large — and irresistible — in the here and now.

My local H.E.B. market was giving samples a few weeks ago, and this happened to be one of them. I was quite suprised that I like it as I ususally don't drink red wines. I highly recommend this one from Ravenswood Winery. The 2005 Ravenswood LODI Old Vine Zinfandel.
