Sartori 2004 Pinot Grigio (Delle Venezie)
- Best Buy
- $9
Chrysanthemum, dandelion, sweet papaya and guava compose a nose that is almost too much of a good thing. On the palate, you get what you’d expect from $9 Pinot Grigio: crispness but not a lot of complexity. Imported by Banfi Vintners.

A full, almost sweet nose, with peach, melon, citrus and crushed stone. Although the mineral presence is there, so is the fruit. Has a nice consistency with a sour note on the finish. Imported by Supreme Wines & Spirits.

Monte Campo 2005 Pinot Grigio (Delle Venezie)

Lagaria 2005 Pinot Grigio (Delle Venezie)
- Best Buy
- $10
A very fruity, almost peach juice-like wine with layers of honeydew melon and apricot. There’s an interesting tug of war between sweet and sour in the mouth that promises to pair well with exotic foods. Imported by Empson (USA) Ltd.

Casa di Rocco 2005 Pinot Grigio (Delle Venezie)
- Best Buy
- $10
Lemongrass aromas are reminiscent of Prosecco and make this a crisp, informal wine to be enjoyed on hot afternoons. The mouthfeel is a tad watery, but the wine glides over the palate nonetheless thanks to good acidity. Imported by Prestige Wine Group.

Astoria 2005 Suade Sauvignon Blanc (Delle Venezie)
- $14
Made entirely in stainless steel to preserve its freshness and fruit, this isn’t lean or sharp at all, rather, it’s bursting with bold passion fruit and grapefruit flavors. Lacks subtlety, but satisfies the Sauvignon craving.
