Wilhelm Walch Prendo Pinot Grigio

Opened this on a whim with dinner and was surprised by how well the gentle yellow fruit flavors paired with a simple chicken dish. For under $15, it drinks clean and crisp without being too sharp. Definitely picking up another bottle.

The bright straw-yellow color makes it look more expensive than it is, and the gentle yellow fruit flavors are perfectly balanced—not too sweet, not too tart. I was really impressed for an everyday white under $15, especially with how smooth it drinks on its own.

That straw-yellow color in the glass is exactly what you want on a warm evening, and the ripe yellow fruit notes come through clean without any heaviness. For under fifteen bucks, this is the kind of bottle I'll grab again for a weeknight dinner.
