Last night my granddaughter, daughter, dog and I followed the music to a local venue called "Rocket Market" to listen to a jazzy female vocalist, and have a sweet treat. When I asked the barista what the house wine was she recommended buying a bottle instead of a glass, as it was a better deal and the special that night just happened to be "a really good wine." I took her advice and for the price of one glass of wine I was delighted with the light taste and delightful bouquet of this Pinot Grigio. I normally like to be faithful to our local wineries, being that we are surrounded by so many....however this one from Italy is so nice, I might purchase a case. Fontana Candida Pinot Grigio 2010. It went perfect with our Northwest dessert of Nainamo bars.which (although not part of my dads collection) I have included.NANAIMO BARS
