"I love Pinot Grigio for its distinct personality and intense perfume. Whether the grapes are grown in Italy or California, the combination of silky texture and crisp, dry finish make it a wine that's hard to resist. And why should you?

The bright, vibrant character of Pinot Grigio literally invites you take a sip and another....perhaps on a warm summer day or while enjoying a nice light pasta dish."

—Tim Mondavi, Vice Chairman and Winegrower, Robert Mondavi, A Family of Wines
