 Tasted by Stinky7 on 6/25/2011 & rated 93 points: Always good. Very consistent light and crisp and complements any fruit and cheese platter (5331 views)
 Tasted by lampld on 6/6/2011 & rated 70 points: strong aftertaste
didn't like (5010 views)
 Tasted by wineshaman on 5/20/2011 & rated 87 points: Don't usually hold these this long, but it fell through the cracks. Still had some lemon zest, still quite fresh, with crisp acidity and a soft finish.
Pleasantly surprised, that there was life left and even holding. (6686 views)
 Tasted by rbc1978 on 2/19/2011 & rated 88 points: Was worried that this wine is getting aged to much but still a great wine! Great with Fish stuffed with Lobster meal. Still one of the better Pinot Grigio's that you can trust every bottle. (6657 views)
 Tasted by Dan & Krista Stockman on 12/15/2010 & rated 86 points: Same notes as 9/16/2010. Amazing it was this good after this long. (6870 views)
 Tasted by twojcicki on 9/27/2010 & rated 84 points: Pleasant wine. Nothing special but not offending either. (2957 views)
 Tasted by Dan & Krista Stockman on 9/16/2010 & rated 86 points: Starting to show its age, but still better than most on the market. (4712 views)
 Tasted by gkjrs on 4/7/2010 flawed bottle: Corked (5100 views)
 Tasted by Dan & Krista Stockman on 1/22/2010 & rated 89 points: We were afraid it may be too old, but it showed no signs of age. Lots of flavor, it's a big wine, but smooth. Great with food, even stood up to chicken fajitas. (3772 views)
 Tasted by Soliquity on 1/10/2010 & rated 85 points: Clean and crisp. (3053 views)
 Tasted by crna1163 on 12/28/2009 & rated 85 points: had with Kasseler Rippchen and it was a hit. Nice fruit with a good balance. (3943 views)

 Tasted by phattyjrb on 6/28/2009 & rated 87 points: consistently a crowd pleaser and therefore a smart buy when you can get it for $20. (3277 views)
 Tasted by ChefR0b on 6/25/2009 & rated 87 points: Better than the 2007 vintage, but not worth the price. I've had $12 bottles of Pinot Gris (same grape, different name) with better flavor and they are usually from Oregon or Alsace. I don't like the viticultural practices for this grape in Italy and California. Too tart, not enough flavor. (4316 views)
 Tasted by redblotch83 on 5/4/2009 & rated 80 points: Too tart and not refreshing enough. Glad I got it at 1/2 price. (4370 views)
 Tasted by thalf on 1/25/2009 & rated 86 points: I always enjoy this wine. Friends wanted this with cheese and sushi prior to dinner. The usual, no surprise pinot grigio. Light to the nose and palette, the citrus is mostly lemon-like to me... (2764 views)
 Tasted by Reyman on 11/19/2008 & rated 85 points: Received as a gift--a pleasant Pinot Gris, but not a good value at $20. (4925 views)
 Tasted by paulst on 11/9/2008 & rated 87 points: Decent soft nice light citrus with some peach, orange and aprcot. (2706 views)
 Tasted by magoo on 10/24/2008 & rated 82 points: Tough to get excited about an average Pinot Grigio at this price. Far better values out there. (4676 views)
 Tasted by phattyjrb on 9/28/2008 & rated 86 points: good as always (2641 views)
 Tasted by Sijan on 9/26/2008 & rated 82 points: Overpriced. Pretty standard pinot grigio but not worth twice the price of others. (4783 views)
 Tasted by phattyjrb on 9/20/2008 & rated 86 points: good as always (2623 views)
 Tasted by jgoodwinj on 8/11/2008 & rated 85 points: Improved a lot during the course of being open. Clean and crisp. Honey and lemon (2866 views)
