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.
As a testament to my declining mental
capacity, I had to re-remember that
Pinot Gris is Pinot Grigio.
I can’t believe it.
(My memory and the wine.)
This wine is insanely delicious.
Whether it is EXACTLY “my style” is another
matter. And no matter.
This should add to my wine appreciation factor
by several tenths of a rating point.
I cheated, so I’m expecting apricot and honeyed
grapefruit.
I’ll go with that until something else comes to
mind.
That didn’t take long…
One of my favorite THINGS is Disaronno amaretto on
grapefruit pieces or in grapefruit juice.
This comes to mind as I sip the wine.
I may have to stretch for the almonds but they’re
there. Maybe.
I picked this wine today because my appetizer will
be Honey Baked TURKEY. I figured PG would be OK
with that.
The HBT is delicious and goes just fine with the wine.
I’m having Andre’s bolognese sauce with angel hair again
so this will be REAL INTERESTING.
I figured the PG would be OK because I basically eat
the pasta with just a wee bit of sauce for flavor.
I mix the pasta and sauce as I spoon it out of the
skillet and into my mouth. Pasta on one side,
sauce on the other, eat from the middle. Like that.
Plates are for people, not wine lovers.
This is a MUST WATCH video.
This wine would go with anything between earthworm aspic
and escargo etoufee, so MY lunch was just fine.
The pairing might not be ideal but it could become
one of my favorite things…
You don’t have to watch this one unless you are curious
as to how the wine got its beautiful color.
I’m just going to keep going on about how luscious
this wine is.
And beautiful.
A rosé impersonator.
An intoxicating elixir extraordinaire.
Heaven is comprised of hills and valleys interspersed
with wineries of every sort.
Upon passing through the Pearly Gates, you are handed a
crystal chalice and directed down a winding path. The first
babbling brook you come to is filled with Wonderwall PG and
lined with almond and apricot trees in full bloom.
If you linger, a forest nymph will bring you warm
ciabatta and Petit Basque cheese.
What are we still doing HERE?
Oh yeah, warming up.
My only question is HOW DO THEY DO THAT?
(The flavor that is. Never mind the color of Maria’s
hair. On second thought, THAT would be interesting to know
too.)
