A Great White

No not that Great White – although those of you that know me might think it blasphemous for me to write about any other Great White than the mighty Carcharodon Carcharius- this one’s a white of the Vitis Vinifera variety:

I have yet to meet a meal that didn’t love this white (red meat and heavy plates aside, it is still August here in swampy Virginia). Made with the quirky, acidic and food-friendly Italian grape, Erbaluce, I’ve been drinking this Italian white from Piedmont with all kinds of lean meats, fish and veggies. It’s awesome with great acidity, zesty citrus and a slightly bitter almond note that really sends it home.

If I were you, I would try it.
’12 Orsolani Erbaluce di Caluso “La Rustía”
For the New Yorkers out there, Wine Therapy downtown (a great little wine shop) stocks it for $19.99 and $16.99/case- a deal. I found mine locally at Society Fair here in Alexandria for $18.
