Vivolo di Sasso, 2008, Italy

This white Pinot Bianco, which cost about 11 dollars at the SAQ, was really quite surprising.

Very refreshing, eminently drinkable with mild citrus and a buttery mouth feel, it conjured up flavours of roast bacon-wrapped turkey thigh drenched in thick soy-lemon gravy and served with butter lemon pois mange tout (of the giant variety) and a rich, dense summer squash casserole. Oh this wine had me having visions of drinking the gravy right out of the boat, the so called "Moby Dick Manoeuvre". And after I had another sip I had another and it conjured up the sensation of stuffing bacon drenched turkey meat into my mouth and chasing it with eggy, herby baked summer squash. And another sip of wine. Back to the gravy boat shots. Oh this wine is terrific! It made us giggle on a Tuesday night!

Who giggles on a Tuesday night? People who drink "Sassy Life" wine from Italy and stuff their faces with their hot wife's delish cooking, that's who.
