Starting Italian Lessons on Tuesday

A second refresher of the Grillo Grape, and confirmation that we really like it.  


Produced with carefully selected Grillo grapes, an organic and vegan wine that reveals the authentic expression of this precious Sicilian grape variety.

With a brilliant straw-yellow colour, it has a fragrant bouquet of floral and light citrusy notes.. A fresh palate and is savoury, with a full lingering finish.


It pairs well with grilled vegetables, salads, and vegetarian dishes. We had quiches.


If this keeps up, we’ll be moving to Sicily and looking for a minor Goddess of Delectable Delights – Italian of course!

One Mystery Solved

What is the best white wine we’ve had so far in the mystery cases?

This is our first encounter with the Grillo grape … It’s confirmation that we tend to like grapes grown at slightly higher elevations (over 1000 feet).  

Harvest is mid-August to retain a balance between sugar levels and acidity. The grapes are pressed, fermented and aged in steel to preserve the freshness.

The organic wine is very dry, light, but remarkably refreshing.

And I’ve already gone back for more – before you snatch up the remaining stock.
