La Francesca Pinot Grigio 2004 Italy
Not What She Used To Be...
We were enthralled with our first tasting of this Italian cheapie. You can see our comments on 23 Apr 2006. We tried it a few other times without posting our thoughts on the blog (heck, why not for $5.99 a bottle.) We had some last night and it left us scratching our collective heads. Yes, it's not dreadful, but WHAT WERE WE THINKING? Perhaps drooling at the price? Maybe this wine aged a bit too much since April? Last night it just tasted CHEAP. Cheap pinot grigio always tastes like diluted syrup from the bottom of a Delmonte fruit cup can. We'll stick with Ecco Domani pinot grigio. For a couple more bucks, it's dependable.
