Wine Review: This dark copper colored Pinot Grigio from the Livio Felluga opens with a cantaloupe and yellow peach bouquet with hints of apple cider. On the palate, this wine is medium bodied with medium plus acidity. The mouthfeel is balanced, round, and slightly mouthwatering. The flavor profile is walnut and honey roasted-pear blend with notes of lemon zest and apple cider. I also detected hints of stony minerality, dried herbs, and a dash of pepper. The finish is dry, and its flavors and acidity linger nicely. I would pair this Pinot Grigio with pan-fried walleye. Enjoy – Ken

Winemaker Notes: Bright and brilliant straw yellow with light coppery hues. Complex, subtle and enfolding. Generous and floral, with notes of acacia flowers, jasmine, hawthorn, broom, and elderflower, followed by hints of white and yellow fruits like pears, peaches, Golden Delicious apples and apricot, blended with a fresh minerality and a pleasant citrus note. Sweet sensations of lemon cream and crème brûlée are supported by a spicy freshness. Full-bodied, crisp, rounded. A fresh, enfolding, mineral and savory entry. Complex mouthfeel with rich notes of white peaches, lychees, apples, and winter melon, complemented by sweet hints of tea biscuits. Fresh, tangy, and harmonious. The very long, lingering finish offers a fruity, salty aftertaste. Particularly suitable for fish dishes, shellfish hors d’oeuvres, risottos, and vegetable flans.
