Over the past year, one wine region that I’ve fallen in love with is Greece.  Unfortunately, I don’t find many Greek wines on the shelves in my neighborhood, but those that I’ve tasted have been delicious — and this wine from Tsantali is no exception.

Pinot grigio is one of those wines that some people love and other love to hate.  But it’s also a wine that comes to life in a couple different styles.  So I think wine lovers who think they don’t like pinot grigio may have just not tried the right one yet. I generally like pinot […]
