Arneis
I love Arneis because of the almond and citrus flavors laced with a bright crisp acidity. Associated primarily with Roero, the Italian prefecture whence comes this fetching under-appreciated variety, Arneis has found a fan in Ken Wright, Oregon’s Pinot Noir pioneer. I implore you to try Arneis instead of the usual pinot grigio. Try ANYTHING but pinot grigio, if we all protest this way the restaurateurs will be forced to offer wines of merit and character for our summer fare instead of the vapid insipid choices they invariably make. How about Tocai Friulano or Falanghina or better yet a classic Soave from Leonildo Pieropan? Hnh? Demand more consumers, demand quality! Cheers, CS.
