Voga Italia - Pinot Grigio

Origin: Italy
Price: $13.95
Date drunk: April 3rd, 2009

We bought this wine because:



You know those tiny tubes of perfume samplers? Yeah. That's this. Except in Giant Land. And full of drinkable alcohol.

g.: Now THAT'S better (re: tonight's other wine). This Pinot Grigio has a flavour. It tastes like apples and flowers. I guess this is what people mean when they say a "complex wine"--it's pretty multi-faceted, compared to the other one. The tiny extra bit of sweetness definitely helps. Yup, I think I like this.

d.: Yeah, this is a good wine. It has a nice, fully-fruited flavour. It is a complex wine; it's a good mix of flavours.

g.: I think the difference is, this actually tastes like something besides alcohol, whereas the cheaper--not necessarily monetarily--wines just taste like stale beer or something.

We're learning!

I was hoping it'd taste like shampoo!
You guys keep buying the wine I don't have the balls to buy. NICE WORK.

Finally, someone else who thinks some pinot grigios taste like stale beer! This one is always crisp and fruity. We've been drinking it for two years and haven't had a bad bottle yet (we've seen the price double also--we started buying it at about 6.99 a bottle--it's up to almost $14 here now....when you can get it!
