Wine Review aka What I'm Drinking Lately

A few weeks ago, my personal sommelier DH told me that Adelaida's Pinots were a must-try, so I had been searching high and low at various Bristol Farms for them. Lucky for me, I a certain someone was nice enough to personally order a couple bottles online for me, and I got to try it over the weekend.

Personally, I'm not big on Pinots because I tend to like my wine a lot more full bodied, fruity, chocolatey and oaky, and I often feel that pinots taste a bit watered down for my tastes, but I know that DH is a big bad cab boy, so I knew it couldn't have been a typical pinot.

And it was not. It had the smoothness and clarity of a pinot, but it had an amazing, lasting finish of cocoa, vanilla and oak. This is a definite must have in your collection for a lighter Italian fare, I think it would go terrific with basil, pancetta and fontina cheese. Yum.
