Review - Fish Eye Pinot Grigio

Italy, 2007 $13-17

I originally bought this box of wine to take camping, as I was looking for a convenient way to pack a lot of wine (1box=4 bottles!) in a small amount of space. I wasn't expecting much as well, hey, it's boxed, right? As it turned out, the wine wasn't half bad!
It's very light and crisp, with a strong aromas of honey and a decent mineral tasting finish. Flavors are of ripe melon, grapefruit, and ginger. Overall, it is a very tropical tasting wine.

Bottom Line: Not something I would buy to pair with a nice dinner, but if you like to have wine on hand to drink a glass or two after work each night, then reel this one in!
