($12, Middleton Family Wines): Vento di Mare produces two Pinot Grigios in Sicily — this one made from organically grown grapes, and one made from conventionally grown grapes.  They’re very different wines.  This one, from organically grown grapes, is slightly less floral, less fruity, leaner and more angular.  It’s more vivacious, even a bit steely, and elegant.  A superb value, it is pleasing as an aperitivo wine, and even more so with grilled fish.  Those who prefer a softer, more flowery style of Pinot Grigio should reach for the conventional bottling at the same price.
