grape: Pinot Grigio. As most of you know I normally can’t stand the PG, but I was at a tasting yesterday and tried this one and liked it.

producer: Laird (liked all the wines I tried from them)

country: USA

region: Carneros (Sonoma side), Cold Creek Ranch

year: I tasted the 2009 but the 2010 is out now

price: $20

yum factors: Super light and would be perfect for some easy breezy summer drinking. That said, it still has tons of flavor – lots of yummy pear but balanced with some lime and acid. I can totally condone you drinking PG, just this once!
