| 75 | | | 93 | JaneGarvey | Atlanta | Georgia | USA | Pinot Grigio is rapidly becoming an American favorite—almost a Chardonnay replacement. Much of what we see here comes from the Veneto, but I find many of them flabby, uncommonly dull and lacking character. Not so those from northern Italy, such as from this example. Aromas and flavors of pears and Asian pear apples with a characteristic almond note in both the aromas and the finish define this wine. The luscious texture—the result of very brief oak exposure--and good acidity make this not only a great solo sipper but also a fine food companion. Minimal handling pays off in the preservation of exquisite fruit. Serve moderately chilled, about 55ºF/13ºC. Foods: fried calamari with lemon aïoli; mussels or clams steamed in wine, garlic and cream; pasta with creamy sauces (such as cream, peas and ham); creamy pasta salads with garlic and smoked mozzarella; wood-roasted whole fish (not oily); creamy, mild cheeses
