Everyday Venezie

TASTING NOTES:
“…fragrant aromas of Bartlett pear, quince and an edge of peppermint. Bright on the palate with vibrant, fresh acidity, this is an easy-drinking, light-bodied Pinot Grigio.”

TANGENTIALLY RELATED FACT to help you make conversation over this wine:
The Venezie in IGT Venezie doesn’t refer to Venice, the city, but to the old Tre Venezie region of Italy. This region is currently made up of Veneto, Friuli-Venezia Giulia, and Trentino.

DRINK IT FROM/WITH (conventional option):
Standard white glass with seafood dishes, “try with Garlic Butter Shrimp Kebabs or fish tacos with a tropical fruit salsa.”

OR (really-going-with-the-theme option):
Glasses made from sand imported from Italy and crafted by a Sonoma glassmaker.
