Pinot Blanc tends to be light and delicate in general and Steele’s is no exception. The wine’s clear, clean flavors, led by peach and pear with a faint suggestion of caramel corn in the background, are graceful and serene on the palate. This Pinot Blanc is delicious on its own, but it can also be a good accompaniment to unfussy foods such as simple chicken or shrimp dishes. I enjoyed it a couple of nights ago with an onion and cheese omelet.
