Two great summer options for a cocktail or a BBQ, stop by Premier Wine and Spirits and see Ray for….
Benvolio Pinot Grigio, Italy
$9.99
Made of 100% Pinot Grigio, this is an excellent expression not only of the variety, but of the Grave del Friuli terroir. Vibrant on the palate, the crisp acidity acts as a counterpoint to the peach, almond, and light floral notes in the wine.
Outstanding as an aperitif, or when paired with summer salads, snapper, sole, sushi, grilled chicken, and risotto based dishes, this is an excellent example of what Friulian Pinot Grigio is capable of.
Bourgogne Rouge Côte Chalonnaise
‘Les Millières’ Vignerons de Buxy
$14.99
Classic Burgundian Pinot Noir with vibrant red fruits and spicy undertones that leap out of the glass, before a palate of raspberry, red cherry and soft tannins. A smooth and elegant finish lingers in the palate.
