Santa Margherita

Pinot Grigio seems to be a popular choice among many when drinking wine. The delightful taste and the benefit of your teeth not turning purple keeps wine lovers coming back for more and more.


One specific bottle I would like to mention today is Santa Margherita Pinot Grigio. This specific wine was  introduced to America in 1979 and has been popular ever since.

It is a fresh clean citrusy wine that is perfect to pair with chicken, pasta, or seafood dishes. I recommend this Pinot Grigio if you need a quick bottle to bring to a party or enjoy with dinner.


Check out: santamargherita.com for more great info and wine pairings!!



This fettuccine and chicken dish is a perfect pairing


Calamari is a great pairing as well


All my white wine lovers should check this bottle out pronto. Price ranges slightly by year and store but runs roughly around $20-$34.



Until next time......

DECOY

So last weekend I went home to visit my family. It was my aunt's birthday and as usual we celebrated with food and wine. My uncle brought over a bottle we had never tried before....Decoy- Cabernet Sauvignon.
I was pleasantly surprised. It has now become my new favorite affordable wine. Decoy is a part of the Duckhorn Vineyards which was co-founded by Dan and Margaret Duckhorn in 1976. The company has spent more than 30 years establishing itself as one of North America's premier producers of Bordeaux wines. Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, and Sauvignon Blanc are included in their collection.

Decoy Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon has aromas of blackberry, boysenberry, cigar box, and mint with fresh dark berry and red currant flavors and hints of dried herbs. The finish has notes of fruit, caramel, and almond.
Red wine typically goes well with red meat. (Although I usually always choose red haha) Steak is a great choice.
Depending on where you purchase the wine it can run from $21.99-$28.99 a bottle. This a great tasting wine for the price.
