Wednesday night Wine - Pinot Grigio


Candoni Pinot Grigio D.O.C. ITALY

Gina

Gina picked the first bottle of wine for our first official "Wine Club"!
The Pinot was not as dry as others that I have tried and after the first 2 sips was leaving a good taste in my mouth.  This was a wine that went down pretty quickly and we could have easily opened another bottle, so I would say this is not a sipping wine.  On a rating scale of 1 to 5 stars I would give this a 3.  Click on the link above and check out this company's many recipes to go with their wines.  They have great cocktails recipes and also food pairing to help out those of us who just really don't know what we're doing, like me!

While catching my friend up on my 2 week vacation to MN lake country we hit on some great conversation topics:  the smartphone addiction and kids and parents and who we let influence our children.  We both admitted to being addicted to our phones.  I had previously had a conversation with one of my cousins and she made me really think about the use of my phone when I am out with others. She said, "I don't need my phone or check it constantly because I am already spending time with the people I am with, others can wait."  This really hit home for me.  Take notice next time you are with a group and give yourself a limit or put your phone away for one hour without checking in and really dig into the people and conversation around you, my bet is you will feel rewarded and so will they.
