Shop review: "A blend of two of Italy's best white wine grapes: Pinot Grigio and Garanega.  The Grigio brings crisp apple and melon fruit to the party while the Garganega serves up a creamy texture and a hint of toasted nuts.  It's super refreshing, easy to drink, and pretty darn delicious, all at a terrific value price." -Vintage Cellar, 2014
My review: gPG Garganega/Pinot Grigio poured clear into the glass. The nose on this wine was very fresh, with hints of sour melon and granny smith apples.  On the tongue, this dry white wine displayed strong melon notes and was smooth, soft and refreshing upon finish. I enjoyed this wine quite a bit.
Food: I did not pair this wine with food.
