Stone Cellars Pinot Grigio Review (Hello, again.)
Pinot grigio, how we’ve missed you.
Tonight we prepared an aioli chicken dinner with green veggies and shrooms. We love to dazzle the boyfriend with our attempts at perfecting a recipe! Our vino du jour was Stone Cellars Pinot Grigio: non-vintage, 13.5% alcohol, with a perfect dinner pricetag of $8.
White wines benefit as well from decanting and this one certainly needed a breather before drinking. First sniff from the bottle brought up cheese and oak. No bueno. After decanting, the beautiful fruit in this pinot grigio emerged. We smelled honeysuckle, green apple, and some citrus. We tasted apricot and pear, and the astringency of the pineapple kicked it up quite nicely. Oak is ever-present, but not unpleasant for us.
Overall, a perfect pairing and a pleasant reunion with our favorite white! Which is your favorite white wine?
