Pinot Grigio Wine
This Creamy Mustard Chicken Thighs recipe is a nice dish that I would pair with a Pinot Grigio. A Pinot Grigio is also a medium to full-bodied wine, with a rather low acidity and fairly neutral aromas. Follow the link to our wine review site to find our favorite Pinot Grigio wines-LetsHaveWine.com
