Tenuta Sant’Anna, Venezia (Italy) Pinot Grigio 2017

 Rarely does anyone have a “religious experience” over a glass of inexpensive Pinot Grigio, but with that acknowledged, there’s a reason why this whole product category has boomed over the past dozen years:  These wines are clean and refreshing, as opposed to all those butterball Chardonnays that tasted like soup during summer and led to an anti-oak, anti-malolactic backlash.  This shows citrus and green apple fruit flavors with a crisp, dry finish.
