Winking Owl Pinot Grigio

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.
