Not too sweet, not to tart, this Pino Grigio tasted just righ. But don’t worry, unless you’re drinking it in the woods or at a zoo, you most likely won’t encounter any bears. It kinda pulls a Jekyll and Hyde, starting out with a clean sweet note and ending with a burst of acidity. However, unlike Dr. Jekyll (most Hollywood stars) it is very well balanced and as crisp as a freshly pressed pair of pants. The wine has an almost juicy quality to it, like you just picked fruit from an orchard. You can taste nuances of pear and apple and a hint of citrus that gives it a bit of a bite. Something about it makes me want to grab a pair of linen shorts and walk on the beach; apparently it brings out my inner 60 year old J). The best part is, though it may taste like a hoity toitey expensive bottle, it only costs around $10 smackers, so even the poor folk like me can afford it. It would be well “peared” with a light appetizer like ceviche a light meat or chicken or pork. I will mostly likely be grabbing bottle number two to my venture to the beach this weekend. (That’s right I said beach NOT SHORE!)
PS for those who didn’t pick up on it, I’m the Goldie Locks in the title, who says blondes aren’t clever ;).
Keep you wallets full and your mouths happy!
