Today we review a pinot grigio from Australia that sells for $6 at Total Wine.
This summer, it’s hot out there. It feels like you’re walking around in a waffle iron. To make matters worse, it’s 2010. So your bank account is a mere shadow, a faded husk, of the account it once was. And you’re super stressed, because you’ve either been let go, or they let everybody else go and you’re stuck doing five times more work.
You need — no, you deserve — some cold, cheap, delicious white wine, my friend. I think I have something for you.
Jacob’s Creek 2008 pinot grigio is best served not merely chilled, but cold. Check. It’s $6. That’s cheap. Check. And although it’s not fully “delicious,” it’s pretty darn good. Two and-a-half out of three ain’t bad. Now, pinot grigios are kind of tricky. They are sometimes so light and clean that it’s like you’re drinking alcohol-flavored water. It’s hard to find one that is actually delicious, and many are disappointing, such as Santa Margherita, which is ragingly popular, sells for $22, and should cost $7.99. (See also: Bose speakers; Enron common stock).
This one is super light and clean. No complexity. No depth. No sweetness. But it’s nicely tart and citrusy. Very refreshing. And it’s not alcohol-flavored water. Plus, you get a whole bottle for the cost of two frappuccinos. Sold!
