LOOOOVE This White Wine!

GoFeisty! is here to fuel the bold, the bright, and the fearless with content that empowers, uplifts, and drives you forward. Today, we’re talking about the yummiest white wine we just had—because when wine is this good (and the price is right), it deserves a moment.
Meet our new favorite obsession: Tenuta Santori’s Pecorino 2022 Offida. Let’s get into it.

My Husband Panic-Buys Wine, and I’m Not Mad About It

Once upon a stress meltdown, my husband developed a rather bougie coping mechanism—he panic-buys wine. At first, I was furious staring at his credit card bills.
“What a waste of money!” I’d yell.
But then, a lightbulb moment: I’m the one actually drinking it.
See, for him, the thrill is in the buying. For me? It’s in the drinking. So, I let him be.

Fast forward to today, and our garage looks less like a place for cars and more like an underground sommelier’s lair—over 300 bottles stacked high like a wine hoarder’s fever dream. We have a fancy wine fridges which stores hundreds of wine, too! We may look like we’re scraping by in life, but make no mistake: we’re filthy rich… in wine.

Our friends figured this out real quick. The secret formula? Flatter the wine collector, and the bottles start flowing. A little praise for my husband’s exquisite taste, and suddenly, we’re popping open bottles they’d never buy on their own dime. They pour it down like they’ve won the lottery—except, of course, it’s my husband’s wallet doing the heavy lifting.

The Night of “Flatter Him & Chug”

Last weekend, after wrapping up a brutal work project, I decided it was time for another “flatter him and chug” night. So, I invited a friend-a damn good cook-because wine always needs food, and well, I needed a drinking buddy.She brought the feast, I raised our wine stash, and that’s when I fell in love…with this bottle.

Listen, I don’t have fancy wine vocabulary-not even in my native language, Japanese.
All I care to say is: “I LIKE THIS A LOT.”
And yes, I literally screamed after my first sip. It was that good!

Meet the Star: Tenuta Santori Pecorino 2022 Offida

I am not a fan of what wine snobs call “buttery” or “nutty” Chardonnay.
I love すっきり–crisp, refreshing, clean white wines. And this one nailed it.

When I scream “I LIKE THIS A LOT”, my husband-ever the data driven wine hoarder-immediately pulled out a wine app to check the price. Because, of course, he never remembers how much each bottle actually costs. Sometimes, his impulse buys turn out to be insanely expensive. But NOT this time!
This gem? Just $15-20 a bottle. An absolute steal for how good it is!

Let me tell you what I have researched about it.
Tenuta Santori’s Pecorino 2022 Offida hails from Italy’s Marche region, Offida DOCG, where the Pecorino grape thrives. This variety was nearly extinct until some brilliant winemakers brought it back. And now? It’s a star.

According to their official site:

“Straw-colored yellow, greenish reflections.
Citrus notes with a full and persistently pulpy mouth.
Excellenet minerality and great flavor,
characteristics given by the position of the vineyard that benefits from the sea curents and salt pans of the Adriatic Sea during the day and the colder ones, from the Sibillini Mountains, during the night.”

And here is a fun fact:
“It’s called Pecorino because, back in the day, sheep(pecora in Italian) used to snack on theses grapes during their transhumance journey.”
So, basically, even ancient sheep knew this wine was yummy!

The Food & The Damage Done

My friend brought razor clams that she caught herself cooked with butter, bacon and leeks. So good!

I made the steak and soft boiled eggs with uni sauce.
Have you heard of it? It’s the ultimate cheat code to pretending you’re an amazing chef.

Seriously, drizzle it on anything, and boom!—instant culinary genius.
Highly recommend keeping a bottle on hand at all times.

Well this white wine was really impressive but we didn’t stop there. By the end of the night? We finished 2 bottles of whites and 2 bottles of reds just between the two of us.

It was a fantastic night!!
Fuel yourself with great wine, great company, and zero hesitation.
Stay bold. Stay bright. Stay Feisty.
Let’s Go Feisty!

うちの亭主はストレスがたまるとワインを大人買いする癖がある。
昔は無駄遣い!と怒っていたが、夫は買うだけで満たされ、わたしにワインをいくらでも飲ませてくれる。
ありがたや~ということで、いくらでも買わせ、わたしはいくらでも飲んであげている。
わたしたちは身なりは貧しいが、ワインRICHIなのだ。
友人たちは、亭主のワインセレクションをおだてればいくらでもおいしいワインをご馳走になれることを悟り、媚をうってはガボガボとやっている。
忙しかったプロジェクトが終わり、久しぶりの友を迎え「おだててガボガボ」ナイトを開催。
その時の1本目の白ワインがおいしかったのでそのことについて書きました。
さあ、みなさんも元気にガボガボ。

今日も元気にLet’s Go Feisty!
