Ora 2009 Pinot Grigio - ~$5

Fresh & Easy pairs up its Ora Montepulciano D'Abruzzo with this '09 IGT Pinot Grigio from Italy's Veneto region. It's a pleasant, drinkable wine that's light in body and style but still exhibits some varietal character, most notably apple and lemon notes.

At ~$5, it falls within the value category. It's a pretty good candidate for a warm-weather aperitif or a bottle to pair with something along the lines of steamed mussels. In fact, this is just the kind of wine you'd use to make the broth and then drink with the finished mussels.
