($25, Kobrand Wine & Spirits): Pighin’s Pinot Grigio, made from grapes grown in the Collio region of Friuli, is even more impressive that there Grave bottling. It has more of everything — concentration and finesse — without becoming overblown or blowsy. It remains perfectly balanced with all the components somehow highlighting each other. Its refreshing edginess and exceptional length keeps it exciting throughout a meal. After tasting it, you realize why Pinot Grigio has become so popular.
