Tuesday Night Wines

Happy Tuesday all, how is everyone doing after the Valentine's Day fiasco.  I can imagine most are getting over that hangover a bit and are looking forward to a relaxing week ahead of them.  Well what better way than to have a simple wine that will be kind to your wallet post-Valentine spree.  In the second installment of my value wine segment I review the Barefoot Pinot Grigio, which retails for about $7 a bottle.  It is readily accessable and will be uncomplicated and easy. 

I appreciate a wine like this for two reasons.  The first is simple, for the price the wine is pretty good.  The second reason is because a simple value wine like this one let's you enjoy a higher quality selection from Northern Italy or Alsace.  With a case production of almost 300K a year, it's pretty consistent.

The wine is a non vintage blend, and looks very youthful with a light yellow hue.  The nose is mellow with a solide ocre of fruit like tart apples and citrus.  The finish is soft and easy, pleasant and refreshing.

Look to have light dishes with a wine like this.  Maybe some shrimp or fish would work, but don't be afraid to put some chicken up next to it either.  An easy go-to starter wine.  Cheers!
