They say "never judge a book by its cover!" Well I take it a step further I say "Never judge a wine by its bottle" Just because the bottle is pretty doesn't mean the wine is going to be just as delicious. So I was at a loss because I found myself judging this bottle because of its screw top. What no cork? I just twist and there it is? I usually have to work for my flavor so this is weird. I didn't think it could be considered a "real wine". So now the stakes were high. Let's see how this one pans out. I haven't had a white in a while due to the fact that I usually alternate and for the past couple of months my lips have been craving a deep red wine. But, not one to turn wine away I thought let's get the glass and assess this situation.
Alrighty, the wine glass is prepped the bottle is chilled and my interest is peaked. So let's screw off that top and give this a swirl. The scent is a light fruity scent and not overly perfumed. For a white not having a strong scent is a great thing in my opinion. I have actually had some Pinot Grigio that smelled like and this is not a joke BUTTER! I like butter on my bread and not in my glass. So the smell of a light fruit was just divine in my opinion. The color of the Kris Pinot is a light blonde and very clear. So far this wine looks like a keeper so lets see if it tastes like one too.
OK again everything leads up to this moment. Is it too dry, too sour; does it kind of burn as it goes down the hatch? Well, the Kris Pinot Grigio is the perfect balance of flavor for a white. It isn't too dry at all and the flavor is soooooo smooth! I don't like drinking something that once you take a sip you make that face of whoa that was rough! that is just me though. This wine gave a smile to my taste buds. It is easy and delicious to drink! To some people having a wine that is easy to drink can be a negative to your wallet but a positive to your taste buds!!! But rest assured this wine runs about $11.00 at your local target so smile away!
This is the type of wine that is great for sharing and I think it would be great for those warm summer nights with spaghetti with clam sauce and good friends by your side.
I would absolutely recommend this wine to anyone who is looking for a delicious addition to their dinner.
So in conclusion my dear sweet readers if you like white wines give this one a try I guarantee you will not regret it! And don't be afraid of the screw top it is in fact a REAL WINE! So make a good light dish to eat and screw off the top of that bottle and enjoy. You will find relaxation if you follow my simple instructions of eat, pour, drink and repeat.
Until next week my dear friends may your glass stay full and your heart stay open to new wines!
