Price: ~$17 (Disclaimer: I didn’t pay for this)
Winery review: Nals Margreid has evidently mastered the art of Pinot Grigio. What makes this wine special is that its simple core is embellished by a whole series of tiny, sophisticated tweaks that make it a pleasure to drink. There are flavors of ripe fruit, almond and bright melon, with a creamy note of citrus on the finish. (Natalie Maclean, 90pts.)

My
review: This was another from my
secret wine source…my roommate who brings home wine from her work. I was trying
this wine on the last day it would’ve been allowed to have been sold at the
restaurant.
The main thing I noticed
initially with this wine was just how dry it was. It was dry, acidic, and a
flavor bomb. It tasted like ripe yellow fruit once you got past the sour
dryness. I really enjoyed this wine and have to admit there’s something to this
bottle that you aren’t likely to find with a cheap bottle of Pinot Gris.
I tasted this on its own with no food.
