Variety: Pinot Grigio
Region: Modesto, California
Country: United States

Winery Notes
:  "The kind of person you feel both comfortable with and excited by at the same time? That wonderfully naked friendship is how we like to describe this go everywhere wine, our light bodied Pinot Grigio seems to go with just about anything and make it all just a bit more fun. With aromas of pear and Meyer lemon, it's got a crisp, fresh, light and tangy style. So let's raise a glass to life, laughter and those who make all occasions a good time. Bare it all." 
"a light go everywhere and with everything style"

Review: This past Thursday, a few friends and I got together to have a "wine night" with this and the next bottle in my blog, alongside some snacks (ranging from chips to crackers & cheese and eventually later in the night... Taco Bell).  I really enjoyed this wine.  For a price of $7, it really was a tasty white wine, having a very crisp and light fruit flavor, while being bold enough not to be-lacking in fullness.  It was almost "refreshing" in a sense, where it was very easy to drink, even without having any food.  It went perfectly with the snacks that we had, in that it tasted almost of an appetizer-ish wine.  I could taste hints of light fruit, such as pear and possibly some apple.  I think that's where the "crispness" came from.  Overall, this wine is a very good choice for $7, and it tasted great.  Although I'm not a huge white wine kind of guy, I would definitely choose to drink this wine again.
