After checking the winery Feudo Zirtari web site, I found out that this 2004 dry but fruity white wine from Sicilia was made with a blend of Grillo and Inzolia, local to Sicilia grape varieties (which I never heard before) and Chardonnay. For $4 at Trader Joe's it is definitely an interesting investment. I had the chance to taste many wines last week-end and probably won't have time to specificaly comment each of them. Just to mention the white ones here I had another italian one Grivo dry and easy to drink; also an excellent Sauvignon Blanc from California Frog Leap and finally a Gewurztraminer from Trader Joe's (the one around $8) which was not very sweet and acceptable for the price.

We have bought Feudo Zirtari Sicilia Bianco at Trader Joe's and think it is a great wine for the price. Guests always seem to comment on it as being very good, too! We highly recommend it.
