I have this disease called “It’s nice out, so I’m opening a bottle of wine.” Anyone else? 

Summer is in full swing, with that comes scorching hot temperatures and intense humidity in Nashville. While we haven’t reached triple digits yet, I spend less time by the pool and more time in places with AC. 

Last week while I was aimlessly wandering down the aisles of Trader Joe’s, I happened upon some new wines at the aisle end cap. One of which was Villa Sonia Pinot Grigio from Venice, Italy. Say less, right? Anything from Italy gets my seal of approval, but in the name of research, I grabbed a bottle and put her to the test.

Let’s jump into the tasting details, shall we? 

Tasting Notes:

• Vibrant straw yellow hue with golden highlights

• Dry, crisp wine with balanced/mild acidity

• Citrus notes - specifically lemon/lime

Verdict:

This is definitely a bottle that I will have chilled and available for the remainder of the summer! While this is a great wine to enjoy while grilling or prepping dinner, it would pair nicely with a creamy pasta dish. If you grab a bottle, let me know your thoughts in the comments below!

Until Next Time!
