Gabbiano Promessa Pinot Grigio 2015

At least I didn’t get demerits
for not showing up for class.

There is absolutely nothing wrong
with this wine.

I paid $7.64 for it in Paola.

This would be my pick as a
“party wine” when the food focus
is Italian.

I had fun with this wine back
in June so I won’t waste any
more words “appreciating” a $7 wine.

On the other hand, in June, I didn’t
have a outer-wall-integrity-challenged-
hot-water-heater-flexible-interconnect
pipe with which to enjoy my wine.

Hang in there.

Maybe I can taste
green apple.

Maybe it’s a bit
oily.

I don’t have expectations
of getting blown away
by the flavors in PG.

Just something light
and easy to…

The producer, via the
“bottle verbiage”, was nice
enough to tell us what
the wine is SUPPOSED TO
taste like.

I got the green apple
right.

Stay away from bottles
that describe family and
farm animals.

And if you want a GOOD
and AFFORDABLE
white wine, look to
northeast Italy.

This wine is from the
IGT delle Venezie.

Forget the wine on tap
idea, we can go swim in
it there.

I remember the exact
moment that I got plugged
into PG…

I was talking to a young
woman at work, the subject
of wine came up (somehow),
and she declared herself
to be a PG drinker.

I became a PG drinker
at that point in time.

It’s REAL EASY to do.

You can study up on which
foods might “go well” with
it, but don’t waste your
time.

I had refried roesti and
sage whole hog sausage
with it today.

Wine beauty is in the eye
of the famished.

Ok, so maybe there’s some
mild citrus tartness in
there.

I’m trying hard to conjure
up a bit of honey.

I didn’t take notes on day
one, and the wine is
disappearing rapidly today.

I’ll have to CONCENTRATE.

I’m going to put all my
energy into making that
OILY sensation become
a (bees) WAXY sensation.

Nope. Didn’t work.

I keep coming up with
olive oil.

GOOD olive oil.

Hmmmmm.

What goes well with
olive oil?

Was that a trick
question?

Hang in there.
