I know a lot of great wines. But you wouldn't have heard of them. My job at a wine store means that I taste a lot of obscure wines. This blog is a record of my better finds in the $10 to $20 range. If you have any questions please drop me an email at stiebelben@gmail.com. I always love to talk wine.

LiBella Pinot Grigio 2010 (about $14)
About the Wine: The Finger Lakes region of New York State provides what is considered a maritime climate. That is to say that the region is colder than is traditional for wine growing but the presence of a body or bodies of water mitigates the effects of the cold and makes wine grape cultivation possible.
About THIS Wine: The color is light yellow with a clear rim. Citrus, peach, and acidity are prominent on the nose. The palate is light to the point of being watery, though citrus is present along with acidity that lingers in the finish. LiBella is slightly sweet throughout, which is unusual in Pinot Grigio.
Drinking This Wine: This could be a light sipping wine and it would also go well with grilled chicken.
Overall Impression: It is not bad but I can find a better bottle for ten dollars. Libella Pinot Grigio is good but a little overpriced.
