Now that
we're approaching the warmer weather, it is time to start thinking about
chilled, crisp, refreshing white wines. Not too long ago, Chardonnay and Merlot
were the favorite white and red wines in the country; now it is Pinot Grigio
(Sauvignon Blanc a close second) and Pinot Noir. New to Harney's is Chloe Pinot
Grigio from the northeast of Italy where many fine Pinot Grigios are produced,
including Santa Margherita and Kris, two of our best-selling wines. This
medium-bodied, non-oaked, fruity wine exhibits aromas and flavors of peach,
apple, honeysuckle, and lemon, with a hint of herbs. It is a perfect complement
to the lighter foods of the season: salads, chicken, fish, and seafood.
