Buying wine intimidates me. I have my favorites, but refuse to buy expensive bottles on a regular basis, and I'm not too familiar with the less expensive wines. This is when it's important to have a good wine expert across the street.
On my way home from work the other night I popped into my neighborhood liquor store for a bottle of Pinot Grigio. I needed it for my Creamy Gorgonzola Pasta recipe. For obvious reasons, it was important that the wine also be deliciously drinkable. The sommelier of the store pointed to this bottle and said "It's just like summer sunshine in a bottle." Being that the high that day was 30 degrees, I was sold. She was right.
I invite you to pick some up for yourself. In New York the bottle retails for $11, perfect for a mid-week sunshine lift. The weather is cold enough right now to just set it by the window. The flavors are much richer and sunnier if they aren't fresh out of the fridgidaire.
Cheers!
