August 2017 Connoisseur

Tenuta Curezza
Delightfully balanced with unexpected complexity. Bursting with deep berry flavors. This wine is fun, but doesn’t take itself too seriously! Elegant, yet not stuffy. Pairs well with pizza or other tomato-based dishes, close family and friends who tell really good jokes.

St. Michael-Eppan Anger Pinot Grigio
Very far removed from the many bland Pinot Grigios that currently flood the market, this one boasts a ton of personality. Chamomile, white spring flower and white stone fruit dance joyfully together in the glass along with ripe fruits and citrus.
