Wine Mad Libs? Cool idea, actually. No, simply fill in the blank with your choice of Chardonnay, Pinot Grigio or even Sauvignon Blanc.  This request has increased exponentially as more of you exhaust your palate on the “same” wines while your palate demands that you expand the palette of flavors.

I’m sourcing fabulous fresh, crisp, thrilling wines from Spain, Greece, Austria, and France which immensely broaden the flavor palette.

Yet, when you ask me for “dry, light white but not…” I frequently find myself traipsing over to the Italian section totally inspired to show you one of Italy’s compelling, brilliantly-flavored, indigenous whites.

My most recent, proud addition to this growing selection? INAMA VIN SOAVE CLASSICO, made in the Classico zone, the best Soave area, from Garganega grapes growing on approximately 30 year old vines.
