Chardonnay. Sauvignon Blanc. Riesling. Pinot Grigio. When it comes to white wine consumption in the US, the average wine drinker rarely gets past these four grape varietals. But if you are tired of the same old options for white wine, try a pecorino (not to be confused with the cheese of the same name). Pecorino is a an early-ripening white wine grape mainly grown in the Marche, Abruzzo, Umbria, and Lazio regions of Italy. I consider it a nice bridge between Chardonnay and Sauvignon Blanc.
Given this, my recommendation for the wine to go buy this week is the Saladini Pilastri Pecorino from Marche. 100% Pecorino, it runs approximately $13 a bottle.
