Wine review – May 2016:

Pinot Grigio 2015 | 91 points

Pinot Grigio is usually not this aromatic, which makes the Tiefenbrunner Pinto Grigio 2015 both unusual and terrific! You get aromas of green pear, golden apple, lime and grapefruit. This is an outstanding northern Italian Pinot Grigio. Some white pear and stony minerality on the palate. Medium-bodied and thirst-quenching: perfect as an aperitif or companion to seafood or shellfish. Highly recommended.

Pinot Grigio food pairings: oysters Rockefeller, pan-fired pickerel, fried herb-crusted and panko trout.
