Wine of the Week: Villa Marchesi Pinot Grigio

A summery pinot grigio from the Fruit Center is our featured wine of the week.

Villa Marchesi Pinot Grigio, 2010 One shouldn't judge a book by its cover, but the sunny label of the Villa Marchesi Pinot Grigio offers a hint of the flavors inside, says Fruit Center Marketplace wine buyer Tim Paulus. "It's a flavorful wine, with tangerine and peach tones, plus minerals and balanced acidity," he said. Paulus recommends pairing the wine with salads, or just "sipping, patio style." $11.99 at Fruit Center Marketplace
