WINE NOTES

Robert Sinsky Pinot Blanc: Pinot blanc is a grape on the rise in the US and ranges from sweet and viscous to light, crisp, and mineraly. This wine comes from organically farmed vineyards. This is another interesting characteristic to look for as the wines tend to express more of where they are grown. Great way to start a meal for two before moving onto a full bottle.

Coltibuono “Roberto Stucchi” Chianti Classico: Chianti is not a wine, it is a region of Tuscany where a grape by the name of sangiovese is grown. Sangiovese’s light berry fruit and dried rose petal nose allow it to be a very soft support for a variety of dishes. The mellow tones of the wine bond well with dishes that are acidic, such as those containing tomatoes or lemons.
