Tonight, after a 32-year wait, I finally get to see Madonna perform live. Madonna. Fizzing doesn’t begin to describe the feeling. How does that relate to my wine picks this week? Well, one of them also happens to be white and Italian…
Cento Cavalli Grillo IGT 2014
In a word, wow. On the nose it has the most seductive aromas of sweet lemon, white pepper and peach, all of which saturate through on to the palate. Named after Sicily's "Hundred Horse Chestnut" (which, at more then 2000 years old, is said to
be the oldest-known chestnut tree in the world), this snappy, sexy white made from native grillo grapes is elegant, stylish and completely unique.
Pair with baked fish or grilled sardines/mackerel. $19
