I think the Pinot Grigio is becoming one of my more favorite wines because of how much I was able to enjoy this one. The smell was quite strong with a lot of rubbery and earthy tones. It did have a sweet tinge to it though, which kept it interesting. The taste was deep and complex but was able to keep a nice smoothness about it. It had hints of citrus and melon in it. The citrus made it sweet while the melon was able to cut it just enough to keep it smooth. Looking back I should have gotten this wine as well because it was complex, full bodied, sweet, and on sale. Everyone looked at me funny when I dubbed this a lunch wine. I called it that because I could see myself in the sun eating a nice turkey sandwich for lunch with this on the side. I think white meat and fresh vegetables would go well with it but it wouldn't be complete without some bread to soak up the flavor. I think Ill get this when I go back.

What Others Say: I liked this review because he talked a lot about the experience of the wine. He noted the bright citrus flavors and said it had a crisp fresh finish. He was pairing it with a risotto and while he was tasting he found hints of pear and peach. Its a long talk and I wont do it justice but he seemed to have the same feeling as I did. Its a light wine that is very refreshing and carefree.
