As a young adult I remember being told by a slightly older lady that a woman should always keep a little black dress in her closet for that “special” occasion. To this day I still follow that advice and have that special little black dress that has come in handy for many types of events 

About a month ago, the term “little black dress” took on a different meaning for me. You see, it was then that I discovered Little Black Dress Pinot Grigio. Although light, this wine makes a lasting impression on you with its clean citrus flavor. Chilled, this wine goes well with a variety of foods or stands alone as a refreshing drink on a hot summer day.  Like that little black dress in your closet, this wine with its floral aroma and hints of tangerine and orange goes well with any special (or not so special) occasion.

Little Black Dress Pinot Grigio is fermented in 100% stainless steel which brings out it fruity flavor.  This wine is primarily made up of the pinot grigio grape. However, two other grapes give it special character…the muscat and the viognier.

The muscat grape is one that even when fermented still gives off the smell of fresh grape. It can also smell of roses. Muscat in the LBD gives it a spicy kick.

Muscat Grape

 The viognier grape gives this wine its floral component. This is a difficult grape to get right as it doesn’t age well. The original home for this grape is in northern Rhone.

Viognier Grape

The combination of these grapes with the pinot grigio grape make a fabulous wine that you can enjoy for a relatively cheap price.

 This wine retails from about $8.00 to $10.00 in your local supermarket. Pick some up today. And for the guys out there, remember women aren’t the only ones who should have this Little Black Dress in their closets (wine closet that is). You’ll enjoy it too!
