Today we try another "new" favorite I have discovered ... A Pinot Grigio ... but this time it's from North America!
BAREFOOT CELLARS PINOT GRIGIO
LCBO 53983 | 750 mL bottle
It's funny how you really start to look forward to finding another good bottle of wine under $10 after having a few that really "didn't do it". You're almost tempted to go and have one of your favorites ... but ... when you're trying to do 365 wines in 365 days and trying to keep current (I'm already a few days behind as I went down to New Brunswick for a few days this month) you can't afford to "slip in" a known good one every now and then ... that's a lot of wine!
All that being said, this "Barefoot" Pinot Grigio from California did not disappoint! Lately I've had a couple wines that were crisp on the finish (which I like) but had nothing in the front end ... the initial aroma or taste. This had all three. From the pineapple aroma to the full citris taste (pineapple and peach) to the crisp finish, this was the perfect wine to enjoy after a long Saturday at work. And it went perfectly with the old chedder I had as a treat tonight ... a very enjoyable Pinot Grigio that I would recommmend to anyone ... 8/10
