“Close Your Eyes … Just Smell” The first time was in Alsace. We were walking the vines above the Hansel and Gretel hamlet of Wettolsheim with our friend, winemaker François Barmès.

Parker: “I Can’t Recommend Highly Enough” Chiseled and mouthwateringly racy, the 2016 Schiopetto Pinot Grigio is among the most compelling Italian whites. James Suckling lobbed on 95 points — the highest score he’s awarded to a Pinot Grigio in three vintages — praising the “full body” and “incredible spicy character.” Schiopetto is the reference point…
