This tasty Marlborough Pinot made its first debut into my life at Verasano’s Pizza on Peachtree here in Atlanta. I arrived prior to five other gals for dinner, and after a long day at work, this really hit the mark. It then led the way to our chomping down on four pizzas – each of which was just awesome. Flavors galore and perfect crust – all to go with this fitting wine.

I ran across a bottle at Hop City a month or so ago, so I’m looking forward to that one down in the basement. I think I’ve also seen it at Highland Wine.
