Ever find yourself at the grocery store shopping for dinner and a nice bottle of wine, only to become overwhelmed by the vast selection of varieties and blends? If so, look to the Estancia line of wines, which provide very good quality wines at value prices, including Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, and this tasty Pinot Gris. I enjoyed this easy drinking white for its pretty nectarine, citrus, and honey blossom flavors. It’s a good choice whether you’re making a prawn quesadilla or a main dish salad with chicken, cranberries, and goat cheese, or sipping it with camembert cheese and tasty little crackers. Widely available in grocery stores around $12 retail, it’s always $9.99 at Trader Joe’s.
