2017 Astoria Pinot Grigio: There are a lot of vintages that cost more but none taste better in my opinion. It is the true essence of what Pinot Grigio should be. It comes from the Veneto region and is light and crisp with a citrus taste that mellows at the finish. It is a definite summer go-to weather as a porch sipper or served with cheeses, fish, chicken, or fruit. It is also a wine that shows the pride of a thrid-generation family of winemakers and is a steal at nine dollars a bottle.
