In a departure from my usual Chardonnay, I decided to try a bottle of pinot grigio by Winking Owl, which I picked up at Aldi. It is a delightful, light wine. It has flavors of citrus, pear, and just a touch of honeysuckle.
It is excellent paired with grilled salmon or pasta, but I just had mine as an aperitif.

Hinnant Family Vineyards
Try a wine from Hinnant Family Vineyards in Pine Level, NC. They have muscadine and other fruit (blackberry, strawberry,etc) wines.
I recently m purchased one bottle each of the blackberry and strawberry, and both were excellent.
I made my purchases at The Vino Shoppe, in High Point NC, as I have yet to visit the actual Hinnant Winery.

Wood Mill Winery Golden Scuppernong
Chilling a bottle of Wood Mill Winery Golden Scuppernong wine to enjoy at today's happy hour.
It is a sweet, buttery golden wine. Very mellow and smooth. Even better than their Red Muscadine, which is excellent as well. Not only good as an aperitif, it would make an excellent dessert wine as well.
