We're not big white wine drinkers and we only have a few favorites like the bottle of Massone Massera Gavi shown below that we can only find at Dorothy Lane Market in Centerville. It comes from the Piedmont region in northeastern Italy and is made from the Cortese grape. Best served very cold, it's crisp, refreshing, and bone dry.
I recently took a couple of bottles to a party along with several better-known whites (e.g. Chenin Blanc). Nobody knew what Gavi was and neither bottle was opened. My feelings, and taste buds, were not hurt when I had to take them home. If you're ever offered a chance to try Gavi, you should certainly say yes.
