Wine Spectator Review: "Fruit-forward and tangy, this light-bodied, snappy white offers flavors of guava, apricot, candied grapefruit zest and stone. Drink now. 20,000 cases made.
My Review: Strong start to this week's wine tasting at Vintage Cellar with this Tonnino Grillo. I had a light fruitiness to the nose, and I caught and interesting sulfur-esque scent to it as well. This wine had a nice acidic bite to it similar to a Granny Smith apple. (Side note: Was Granny Smith an actual person?) Light-bodied wine with a pleasant finish. You can't go wrong with this wine if you're a white wine only type of person.
Food: I did not taste this with food.
