Last night (well, I mean Tues) Betsy had left for a composing session in Boston, I had leftover chicken enchiladas/lasagna/whatever with some open Riesling, but also tried the 2007 Feudo Montoni Grillo (Sicily). I like Montoni's Nero, and have been wanting to try a Grillo since I heard it described as minerally and good acids (not the first things I think of for Sicily, but some Etnas impressed me recently). I was basically disappointed, thinking the Grillo came across as flat and uninteresting. But trying some now after 30 hours in fridge (I just got in from a trip to city), I find it more appealing. A slightly sharp nose, with a hint of flor/sherry. On the palate rather appealing sweet pear fruit with a little almond note. I'm not getting the minerals, and for my tastes acidity could have a little more zip, but much better than before and quite a decent $10-12 wine. B
Grade disclaimer: I'm a very easy grader, basically A is an excellent wine, B a good wine, C mediocre. Anything below C means I wouldn't drink at a party where it was only choice. Furthermore, I offer no promises of objectivity, accuracy, and certainly not of consistency.
