Halfsies


Last night I decided to uncork a half-bottle of a nice Italian white called Gavi. I guess it's actually called Villa Sparina Gavi di Gavi 2002. This white is from the Piedmont area of Italy and it is made mostly from the Cortese grape. I really enjoyed this wine. Not many people have great things to say about Italian white wines, and I'm not sure if others out there would like it as much as I did. It's very crisp and clean, with lots of green fruits and high acidity. I found it very refreshing. Word on the street is that it goes very well with seafood, and that was my plan until my poor pregnant wife became sick. My personal menu changed, but I stayed with the wine. Nice choice on my part.
