2019 Sandstone Estates Italy Pinot Grigio

Rather than trying to navigate what could be a daunting wine list populated by names and wines with which you may not be familiar, simply ask for the house Chianti if you’re in the mood for a red or the house Pinot Grigio if you’re in the mood for a white.

Both types of wine are delicious with food. Pinot Grigio, for instance, is excellent with Caprese salad, fritto misto, fried calamari, antipasto salad with pickled artichokes, linguine with clams, shrimp scampi and even some tomato-based pasta sauces. And the Sandstone Estates Pinot Grigio also pairs beautifully with grilled halibut, horseradish mashed potatoes, or chicken pot pie.

The 2019 vintage has a fresh, light and crisp mouthfeel that makes it a refreshing aperitif or a sterling food companion — especially when that food is of the Italian variety.
