TN: Lageder 2002 Pinot Grigio
My root stock is Irish-Jewish, but at heart I'm an Italian. When the warmer
weather strikes, I go right for the white wine, and Italy offers some of the best. Something as simple as a Pinot Grigio can be turned into a mind-blower, and Lageder did it with the 2002 Alto Adige offering. This is my third day of drinking the same bottle. Smokey, plush fresh fruit, a bit decadent for a Pinot Grigio. Fine by itself, but drank with a dish made with fettuccini, peas, potatoes, and a mild (very mild) pesto. Actually didn't buy enough basil. With this dish, the wine had almost a sweet, lager beer taste. Very interesting and very delicious. Rich R. -- The journey is the reward. |

If I can suggest a choice for the next time you will eat pesto, try a good Pigato or Vermetino (only if you do not find Pigato) bottle. In fact PG (especially from 2002 vintage: cold and rainy summer in Italy) is probably too acid to match correctly with pesto. Luk |
