I luv Chardonnay but . . .

While preparing for our trip to Vinitaly International Wine Exhibition in Verona next month, my hubby has been bringing home a wide array of Italian wines. But let me rewind a few months . . . back in December . . . like for Christmas . . . Gary gave me a gentle suggestion in the form of a book entitled, "Anything but Chardonnay."

So . . . recognizing a moment of truth . . . I am truly in Chard warp . . . the quest began. Now to the present . . .

So tonight we indulged in a 2007 Albino Armani Valdadige Pinot Grigio from Total Wines @ $12.99 a bottle. Wow . . . a warm complete lemon pear - not tart and definitely not crisp like what you would expect with traditional PGs - very rounded. We paired it with a grilled endive & procuitto salad and mussels steamed in chorizo tomato broth. Unfortunately there are no leftovers tonight . . . Cheers and Buona notte! Barbara
