To be perfectly honest (and perhaps a bit undiplomatic), Pinot Grigio can be boring. Most of the time. It's not that the Pinot Gris/Grigio grape isn't a good one; it certainly has the potential to be so. But many Pinot Grigios end up as sort of the "lite beer" of wines: lacking any really notable flavor, but at the end of the day...inoffensive, light, refreshing, easy for most anyone to drink without complaining.
This, we're happy to say, is not one of those Pinot Grigios. American Sommelier Bobby Stuckey and Chef Lachlan Patterson of Frasca Food and Wine (arguably one of Boulder, Colorado's best restaurants) got together to collaborate on a Pinot Grigio project in Friuli that's flavorful enough and packing enough body and acidic backbone to pair with their favorite foods.
