2024 Vignetti Pinot Grigio.
On a mission to find the cheapest wine I can use to sauté shrimp (and enjoy a glass while cooking). I grabbed this. Not overly acidic, it's round and flabby in the mouth. It will be fine for cooking, but not one I'd buy for sipping.

Hiding from the rain in my garage and making some racket.

Nothing fancy. The fruit is a little sweet, as others have said, but it has a rustic quality. It tastes like Siena, and makes me want some pistachio gelato.

I DJ'ed a wedding last night and the groom gave me a leftover bottle of his favorite wine. Nice gesture! Other reviewers have said it has a light touch, and this is true. But it's lively and fresh. A red berry medley. Quick finish.

I've had a few vintages of this and it never disappoints. It's a great mix of lively fruit and some rustic qualities. Pairs with just about anything. I'm going to have it with spaghetti squash and grilled chicken and mushrooms.

I've had this before, and I'll say the same thing. Super jammy, almost syrupy. Blue fruit and nutmeg/Christmas spices.

The guy at my local shop gave me this and asked me try it because another costumer said it was bad. Not bad at all! I should probably pay him.
Earthy stuff up front, maybe that's what they didn't like. Soil and leather cover up the dark fruit. Super tannic, this needs to breathe plenty. But really good, and making burgers to go with it.

I enjoyed this much more than the first time I had it. Might have been what I ate with it. Stuffed peppers, and it was a good pairing.

This year's bottling is better than its Bombergers companion. Sweet and leathery, complex. Tastes like bourbon. A little astringent on the tail end.
