Alto Adige Pinot Grigio 2008 "terlan"



This classy Pinot Grigio was simply divine and was one of the classiest wines I've tried this year. While I don't have much of a recollection of where/when I purchased it, it appears online in the $15-20 range, and was a real delight to drink. Perfectly crisp without too much sweetness and just a hint of some citrus. It paired very nicely with seafood/white sauce pasta, and I imagine it would go well with most mexican dishes, especially anything heavy on cheese like quesadillas, fancy grilled cheese, or even cheese and crackers before a meal. Definitely nice enough to be a stand-alone wine.
