Variety: Pinot Grigio
Country: Italy (Veneto Region)
Price: $7.95
Vintage Cellar Review: Brilliant straw color with emerald reflections. Fresh and floral bouquet with a hint of pears, apricots and bananas. Fresh and inviting with bright fruit and an easy drinking style with a pleasing hint of almonds in the aftertaste. Pairs well with seafood dishes, risottos with scampi, spaghetti with clams, sole in white wine Perfect also as an aperitif.
My Review: I was never really fond of Pinot Grigio due to their off-putting acrid smell. So I wasn't expecting much from this wine, but I was happily and pleasantly surprising. The nose definitely had that herbally, natural, grassy smell which peaked through the mostly floral smell with hints of fruit, but the smell was overall very delicate. The taste was very acidic and made my mouth pucker. I did get flavors of pear and sort of sweet as well. It blended nicely with the tart taste in it and was very balanced. Of all the wines of the day, I probably would have gotten this above the other 4 if that says anything.
