Pinot Grigio

Sorry for not posting in a while it's been a busy week.

A couple of weeks ago my daughter celebrated her birthday. In addition to her friends coming over for a Friday evening their moms came over too. One of the moms brought a bottle of Robert Mondavi Pinot Grigio.

This is not only a very nice white, since it is not too fruity or sweet but it is a safe wine to bring as a gift as it goes with just about everything. This particular friend brought a magnum which costs about $14.00 and is plenty of wine for a small group of people. It's better chilled, at least I prefer it chilled but it isn't half bad at room temperature if you must drink it right away. And sometimes you must.

We had the wine with a very rich fudge cake and it went very nicely with it taking away some of the sweetness of the cake which was just a bit much. This wine does not pair well with citrusy foods like tomato or citrus fruits, this is due to its high acid content. Don't let the word acidity scare you however this wine has an almost silk like texture on the palette.
