Venezie Pinot Grigio 2013
Can't remember the last time I had a Pinot Grigio...typically find myself sucked up in the stigma of "Pinot Grigio is for drunken housewives and for people who don't like wine". Shame on me because this is a lovely wine. Enjoyed the 2013 with some spicy Thai food, its not overly acidic or rough at all which I was expecting. A soft smell of citrus and cherries, gentle notes of strawberry and cucumber. Finishes nicely with a subtle dryness but not overwhelming perfect for spicy food. — 9 years ago

Let's just say for $5 you could probably do worse, that being said it still wasn't great. I will write the review in the "this is what $5 got you" mind set.
I let it open up for a while hoping to get the slight alcohol smell out of the way...it eventually subsided and I could get some fruit on the nose. It was a dark red color with soft Ruby edges, and the taste was extremely light. Bottle says cherry, black currant, green pepper, liquorice, and spices. I definitely got the cherry on most sips and usually a hint of spice. Every sip took effort to find the flavor. It served its purpose while watching football, certainly a drinkable budget friendly wine. I would not recommend serving it with any food as it doesn't have a strong enough flavor to compliment any.. For $5 you won't hate yourself for buying it. — 9 years ago
