Everyday Nice (eN)
We all enjoy connecting to nice things, from tried and true comfy jeans to hanging out with best friends. The wines in this category are gentle and social – ideal for entertaining large groups, receptions and open houses. They are a natural choice for casual lunches or weekday meals – and pair well with chicken, grilled white fish and stir-fries.

How to spot an Everyday Nice (eN) wine?
Look for these grapes:

  • Pinot Grigio
  • Pinot Blanc
  • Chenin Blanc
  • Unoaked Chardonnay
  • Viognier

Here are our 3 top picks:
1. Lamberti 2006 Pinot Grigio Santepietre
2. Baron Philippe de Rothschild 2006 Viognier
3. KWV 2007 Chenin Blanc

This Lamberti Pino Grigio is an excellent choice. As a matter of fact this is one of my all time favourites. You just cannot go wrong with this one.
