An unusual blend of Pinot Grigio and Verduzzo, this wine was quite lean but showing yellow apples and minerality, spice and a full texture. As the wine opened up, there were notes of cooked pears, custard and vanilla. This wine is very pleasant and nicely weighted for some of the heavier dishes that will start to appear as the temperature drops. It will cost around $27 in retail, and is interesting, if not amazing.
