Wine Folly: Pg. 149 Pinot Gris- Described as a dry white wine with notes of white peach, lemon zest, cantalope, almond, and crushed gravel. I picked up on the peach and almond notes, and agreed with the text's analysis of the light-body and high acidity of the wine.
My Review: Meh. I didn't think think that this wine was that great. I think one of the major things that had to do with me not loving the wine is that we forgot to put the wine in the fridge before trying, so we ended up tasting it after 45 minutes in the freezer. I still don't think that was cold enough. Oops! When looking at this wine, it looked almost clear and we determined it had a pale straw color. I picked up on the peach and floral scents while smelling, and then the peach and almond hints really came out in the tasting. I thought it was quite dry, which was nice but also found it very acidic which left my mouth watering for a little bit after sipping. I also tasted low sweetness, and I thought it was a bit bland. It left me wanting more flavor!
