Barboursville 1998 Pinot Grigio (Monticello)
- $13
Most P.G.s from appellations beginning with V came from Venezia or the Veneto. Here’s one from Virginia. Bright fruit aromas announce this clean and bold contender. Looks spritzy, but it’s just a little tangy on the palate. Medium mouthfeel with fine balance. Bellissimo, y’all.

Barboursville 1998 Merlot (Monticello)
- $16
A medium-weight, herbaceous style, best served around cellar temperature. Uncluttered by a lot of new oak, it’s a sappy, red-fruit quaffer ideal to accompany light summertime fare. Gulp it down like you would a good Beaujolais.

Barboursville 1998 Chardonnay (Virginia)
- $12
Light and crisp, there is a hint of oak but it’s basically an uncomplicated style, full of tart-green-apple Chardonnay fruit. A touch of vanilla and spice sneaks in on the finish. Lacks richness, but would be nice as a shellfish white.

Barboursville 1998 Riesling (Monticello)
- $10
Light, crisp, with a bit of spritz, this dryish Riesling could be partnered advantageously with nearly any shellfish. The green-apple flavors are straightforward, making for a nice patio wine.
